(The Center Square)–President Donald Trump plans to send top members of his trade team to London on Monday to talks with representatives from China as the two economic superpowers seek greater cooperation on trade.
Last month, the two nations reached a temporary truce on tariffs as they worked toward a more comprehensive deal. However, that limited trade truce was in jeopardy until Thursday, when Trump talked directly with China President Xi Jinping.
On Friday, Trump said he was sending Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer to London for the meeting with representatives from China.
“The meeting should go very well,” Trump wrote in a social media post.
Trump said he spoke with Jinping for more than 1.5 hours Thursday morning, almost entirely on trade between the two nations. Trump said the call “resulted in a very positive conclusion for both countries.”
The phone call came almost a week after Trump accused China of failing to uphold the bargain the two countries reached in Geneva last month.
In May, the two countries reached a 90-day deal to reduce high tariffs. Both countries agreed to slash tariffs that had been so high that nearly all trade between the two nations stopped. The U.S. reduced its tariffs on China from 145% to 30% while the two nations continued to talk. China cut its levies on U.S. imports from 125% to 10%.
At the time, S&P Global said the limited agreement would bring limited relief for businesses and consumers. The credit-rating agency said the de-escalation “brings only temporary relief.” It noted that if the world’s two largest economies can’t reach a broader, more permanent trade deal in the next three months, tariffs are likely to increase again, perhaps sharply.
Businesses are likely to remain cautious about hiring in the meantime, according to the S&P report. It further said that consumer spending could remain subdued.
Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
The only problem with Trump’s talk with Xi Jinping is that Xi is under house arrest in China and is no longer in charge! His State Department nerds put him in touch with the wrong person!
