So that makes the tariff kind of comical....and also the response from Europe equally comical.

This could drop President Trump's approval rating to an all time low.

There seem to be quite a few highly regarded microbrews that come in a can.  While I'm not sure if aluminum cans are cheaper than bottles, I'm guessing the shipping/handling is cheaper since cans are a much more efficient package than longnecks.

Because it's the only beer that comes in a bottle, dumbass.

Don't be such a thick-headed tool all the time. There's plenty of beers that only come in cans.

I got the joke.  Sort of believed it at one time, too (the exception being Guinness draught cans).  Was more of a PSA that, yes, good beers come in cans.

Have Trump sanctions and tough talk brought NK to their knees, and the table?

It looks like it was a big part of making it happen.

Heavy-Duty Truck Orders Increased 76% In February.

The Wall Street Journal (3/5, Smith, Subscription Publication) reports that North American trucking fleet owners ordered 40,200 long haul model trucks in February, a year-on-year increase of 76 percent over February 2017. The Journal adds that in January, truck orders reached an almost 12-year high, as US domestic shipping demand rose 12.5 percent year-on-year that month.

I would say it's all China.  How much of a role Trump played is debateable....certainly even China probably not real happy with Kim having nukes.

I doubt it. 

We are in the typical lull and talk portion of the North Korean cycle. With the Olympics, North Korea wanted to make it look like it was playing nice and it would be open to talks. Now, once those talks start, North Korea is not one bit giving up any of its nukes or missiles. So, any U.S. position is a nonstarter. Plus, once the U.S. and South Korea start their planned military exercise in a few months, the North will cry foul, and they will launch another missile/ or test. Then, the bluster and rhetoric will start again. 

Also, the sanctions are not working. North Korea is great at the shell game of eluding shipping sanctions. 

You posters downplaying Trumps roll is laughable.  Clearly his doing.
