There is so much conflicting data and information regarding money coming from every direction/agency/for profit business its just ridiculous. Lies, damn lies, and stats. Over the weekend I heard Ben Carson, Secretary of Housing and Urban Development. He was talking his new initiatives. OK. One stat he threw out is that people who rent have an average net worth of 5k. People who own homes have net worth of 200k. Even a brain surgeon has a difficult time 'splaining the numbers. No where was debt mentioned in the discussion. In his defense, his interests seem genuine in their attempt to increase the standard of living of the lowest tier. None of that is to be lost on the BS of trade accounting. Buy gold in the US, ship it to london and sell the same gold in London and US hums along! Trade measures the currency in aggregate, not the actual items being bought or sold.
https://www.cnbc.com/2019/07/03/chi...nner-of-trump-xi-meeting-at-g-20-experts.html China appears to be the winner of the Trump-Xi meeting at G-20, experts say U.S. President Donald Trump has touted his “far better than expected” meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping at the G-20 summit in Japan, but experts say that Beijing appears to have gained an upper hand in the trade war. Trump said after his meeting with Xi that Huawei will be allowed to purchase U.S. products — suggesting a softening in Washington’s blacklist of the Chinese tech firm. But back in Washington and Beijing, both governments appear to be treading Trump’s Huawei announcement with caution.
All speculation. It's hard to say with the bias media. if it's from CNN they'll stop at nothing to highlight only the bad points and speculate Trump's plans to fail. If it's Fox, they'll do the opposite. We'll see what unfolds with Huawei in the future.

Back to back mass shootings - yesterday and today. Here not there. "I'll give you my gun when you pry it from my cold dead hand" ...... said the shooters.
