What's with all of these negotiations? I thought the goal of Tariffs was to incentivize companies to make their products here; in the USA. How is re-negotiating trade deals going to achieve that goal? Have we been lied to? Again?

Somebody missed this part in the article

"Taiwan will buy more from the US, president says"

"Taiwan's President Lai Ching-te on Sunday offered zero tariffs as the basis for talks with the U.S., pledging to remove trade barriers rather than imposing reciprocal measures and saying Taiwanese companies will raise their U.S. investments"

Matters not what anyone is "hoping" it's the results that bother you... Now go get a bushing job done on that prolapse, moron. And take some more of those meds you wouldn't have to take if you'd just have listened to the SG.
