Pushing the goal line again. "Win trade war with China," became, "Get China to talk eventually." And "China will pay the tariffs," became, "They didn't tell us to fuck off." LOLOL
According to whom? "Industry sources?" LOL Try that shit and watch the CCP kick Walmart out of China; any Chinese factory/company can literally report this to the government and end Walmart's operation. What leverage are they negotiating with? Pretty please?
By the way, the article you cited, basically said that there were wishful negotiations for the future but it confirmed everything you had been hoping were not true, which is that up to now, and up to August at the very least, Americans have bore the entire cost of the tariffs.
"Walmart and other major US retail groups previously agreed to bear the full cost of the tariffs when they asked their Chinese suppliers to resume shipments in late April, industry sources
."
"Walmart agreed to cover the full cost of any tariffs until August in its previous deals with the stationery maker, but the US retailer has yet to place any orders beyond August."
That's why we love you. Since the tariffs, doormat prices have gone up, but you're providing one for free!
