Ray Payne comments

This trade situation with China is one of those things that, if left unresolved, will haunt the world for the next 50 years. China, unlike Russia, has the cash and the population, and the well educated workforce, to dominate the world in ten years if not stopped now. So the trade war with China is only a piece of the strategy such as cyber. Obama talked about it, but never did anything at all. Trump is taking them on very aggressively in every area.

Japan is desperate to continue it's large trade imbalance with the US, thru unfair trade, that it has had for the last forty years.

To achieve free and fair trade with China and Japan, Trump will stay the course.

Well said and so true.

The author is a coward, he should resign his position, identify himself and openly state his case.

Personal derogatory remarks should have no place in trade discussions,

"Williams whispered something to Osaka and wrapped an arm around her shoulders."

Look for the good, and you shall find it.

TAX TAX TAX - The peoples daily bread, should not be taxed.

The anonymous author, hiding his identity, has no credibility.

The back side of Camp Hansen is a good location for the base. That's were the troops are.

"I'm pretty heavily tattooed on my legs with beautiful artwork."

?

A well crafted article, the truth is many countries subsidize their farmers. and America will more so do the same.

"USA doesn't physically have the resources that Canada sells to it."

Would you say that again!

I would like to make a comment about tipping in New York and Japan. Referring to restaurants in New York that does not allow tipping. Most restaurants in Japan have a no tipping policy.

In Japan, restaurant employees are payed a decent wage. employees are happy, the owners are happy and customers are happy..

The meaning of TIPS - To Insure Prompt Service.

I do not need tattoos on my body hoping for attraction, I have scars on my right arm that does that. 511th, P.I.R., 11th A/B. Div.

Some people with their laptops use Starbucks, MacDonald's and other similar operations as an office for work and sales marketing. Low rent, one cup of coffee.

My opinion is these restaurants should reevaluate their marketing to sale food and beverages, not office space for taking a table or a booth to conduct business.

Many American military in Japan, men and women, are now heavily tattooed, that they call body art.

As they get older, they will not have to worry about employment. They can easily find a job in a circus . . . as a sideshow freak!

The U.S,A. should stay the course for a one on one bilateral free trade agreement. Japan has bilateral trade agreements with other countries, so why not America.

When it comes to free trade, I am not afraid to identify mysel and Country.

"And all Japanese don't like the taste of foreign rice."

California rice is a big black market item from commissaries on U. S. military bases in Japan. American rice is much desired for quality and price.

No doubt, Aso, Kun and He will discuss how to keep their cunning trade practices going, creating year after year America's large trade deficit, while at the same time refusing the U. S. a one on one bilateral free trade. agreement. They will plan on how to keep their cake and eat it too.

"Trump is basically a salesman whose best work has been done selling himself to those Americans who are either too dumb or desperate to realise that"

What are the current economic numbers again? Oh, yeah, best economy in history! Lowest unemployment rate for blacks and Hispanics in history! ISIS decimated! South African president called out for his racist policies! Illegal immigration starting to decline despite Democrats' best efforts!"

Thank you Serrano, a few others are so blind with hatred for Trump that the cannot or refuse see the truth.

"The farcical Donald J. Trump, who is a dangerous embarrassment to U.S. national security,"

This is not correct, someone is reading comic books again.

This seems to be a nice restaurant for an enjoyable dinner. My next trip to Tokyo, I shall do so.

One may find it interesting, that it was the American G I, that introduced teppanyaki steak to Japan, the art of grilling steak on a flat grill.

Open wider markets for imports and watch consumer prices come down.

Who is Japan to talk about free trade.

"Just a tactic by Trump to deflect attention away from his crimes at home."

Stick to the truth, Donald Trump has not been convicted of any crime. Where is the proof that he has committed crimes. The proof and nothing but the proof is acceptable in an American court of law.

"Just a tactic by Trump to deflect attention away from his crimes at home."

A crime is illegal, against the law. Please explain where Trump has broken the law and committed illegal crimes.

"The present majority of the American people support Trump and his policies to bring about fair trade for the US"

Did someone miss the words, 'the present majority'?

"360 million people in the US, and less than 60 million voted for him."

To vote in the United States of America, one must be of age. 360 million is no comparison. Also they must be American citizens that is of concern of the American people.

"Trade was already unfair in America's favor."

Not true, trade deficit statics do not lie.

In spite of the bitter hatred of Trump, by a few, the present majority of the American people support Trump and his policies to bring about fair trade for the US. If it takes a trade war to bring about fair trade, so be it. Trump will win.

"Already plants are shutting down because of Trump's tariffs. People are losing their jobs."

The truth is, industries are reopening in the US, more jobs, high employment. The truth is, America is on a high economic roll that is undeniable.
