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.

United States Steel Corp. X +3.93% said it would restart a blast furnace in Illinois to handle the higher demand it expects from President Donald Trump’s proposed tariffs on foreign steel.
The steelmaker said it also plans to call 500 employees back to work at the Granite City mill. U.S. Steel idled its blast furnaces there two years ago as a flood of cheap imports pushed down domestic steel prices.

I'm not a Trump fan, but I give him great props for this. I don't buy the economists who say the downside of the tariffs are going to be apocalyptic. Buying dumped Chinese steel is the Chinese government subsidizing your business.
I'm not saying we go nuts with a lot of new tariffs, but sending a few strong messages like this should help in future trade negotiations.
And I still hear people talking about Trump starting trade wars; for God's sake, we have been in a trade war for the last 40 years and our losing our ass. Time to try something a little different.

I think it's actually a really good argument. If China wants to subsidize steel, that's free money to our businesses. Steel is a commodity - you want your [economy] to be further up the value chain. It's true that everyone loses in a trade war.
Now the national defense argument is also valid. But we're nowhere near that point yet. Also, someone posted earlier (I didn't research/verify) that Canada is our leading steel source by far.
We trade at a huge deficit with almost every country. Trump doesn't GAF about the feelz of some other country that has lined its pockets with a anti US trade agreement. now that we have a business man in the WH.....it is truly America first.

The USA has been trading at a deficit since 1975. High tariffs do not reduce trade deficit. For instance, America’s trade deficit narrowed dramatically during the Great Recession. Donald's tariffs will make the deficit larger after other countries impose reciprocal tariffs.
Apparently to Donald fans, every other President since '75 and their economists has been ignorant about growth, savings and investment rates.

We'll see what happens after the Trump tariffs.
I think we have established said is a pathetic moron, but even a broken clock is right twice a day (in said's case once every 5 years). Although, he is only bitching about it, because a certain person is in the WH.
I can't get on board with tariffs, it is completely idiotic. It has been proven time and time again that a protectionism does not work.
Said is so pathetic. Guy can’t just leave this site he has to come back with different usernames lol it’s like posting on the OC is one of the more important things in his life. Yikes..
