This was a union unlike many we have seen. It survived being in the public eye many times and in many different iterations and the sadness that former president george h. W.

Also many believing that trade truce between the United States and china is all a bit of a fabrication. I want to take a look at the markets right now. Just down 574. Essentially that is giving back all the gains. After xi jinping and President Trump had dinner in argentina saturday night, President Trump came out saying we have a truce, we have 90 days. Were going to get through this. It was very positive. China is going to make great concessions. Even since yesterday, weve been scratching our heads saying china was basically agreeing to do something that they said they would do months ago that the white house didnt want to do.
