Monsters, I'm aware of W.R.'s miles and miles comment but my point was that it's a commodity like soybeans which is on top of the high volume, abundant list available to be sold into China which is why it gets mentioned so much in general commentary. Resolving the whole trade issue could take years for all we know with IP theft and forced technology transfer being the most difficult to solve, let alone how it will be enforced. Putting a dent in the trade imbalance will be no skin off any Chinese noses and is something that can be pretty well enacted fairly quickly without too much trouble and easily measured by both countries although in reality will take time for the figures to show concrete results. Again an easy first step which will most likely involve LNG. Trump will want some form of initial "victory" to gain a distraction from other events not working in his favour.
