"WASHINGTON - President Trump delayed his own deadline to increase tariffs on Chinese goods on Sunday as his administration continues a monthslong effort to persuade Beijing to make significant structural changes to its economy that have so far proved elusive.
Mr. Trump, in a tweet on Sunday, said he would delay a Friday deadline to increase tariffs on $200 billion in Chinese imports, citing “substantial progress” during a week of trade talks in Washington between American and Chinese officials."

My wife recently finished her Para-legal course of study, and she turned to me with a shocked look on her face. Yes, the President is an unprecedented moron. The nation would be better off with her at the helm of trade agreements than our own current President. Sad!
You missed the part where the Chinese VP laughed. Ever seen high officials laugh at world leaders before? In the faces?
It's at 2:44
Frighteningly funny
Sad sad.......trump brought shame to the US
No wonder everyone is laughing at america
We are Fiiiinalllly FREE of this man!!
As an attorney, I can only shake my head in bewilderment at this "businessman" and his pathetic understanding of contracts.
it says non binding a lot in that definition
Can you explain this to me? I looked it up and MOAs are not binding.
I looked it up and it said that it could either be binding or non binding depending on the elements included. So if the trade representative says it's binding, I think we can assume that it did meet that standard.
If someone with more knowledge has a different opinion, I'd like to hear it.
@@Bexx74 A contract is a contract regardless of what it is called. An MOA is only nonbinding if the language of the contract itself makes it nonbinding.
KaiserSchnitzel ……. Orange Capone's understanding of 'contract' is when he pays someone to rub out an enemy or a rival .
The world is actually laughing at US.
Yep...as seen by the comment's from other countries in a lot of trump videos, pretty sad
Theres plenty of morons in power all over the world dude we share the same pain
mrhypnagogia ? There’s a difference btw moron vs someone with different political beliefs. There’s no morons like him leading other countries.
@@mrhypnagogia I agree, but Trump is a special kind of stupid and he is also devoid of all morals. Trump is as vindictive as they come and you can bet that only the laws stops him from acting like the dictator Kim Jong Un.
can confirm that ...
tremendously hyuuge never-seen-before Lolz from Switzerland
Oh this video is gonna age so well, I cant wait
The world will be ashamed of America's exaggerated importance
When you mercilessly bash someone for not knowing something that YOU DONT KNOW! 😂😂😂😂
RAM1 hmmm jeff truckenbrodt yes it is:-) read the second paragraph. The MOA can also be a legal document that is binding and hold the parties responsible to their commitment or just a partnership agreement.
There can be legal distinctions between MOU and MOA, there may be no legal or practical difference if they are written with similar language. The main thing is whether the parties aimed to be legally bound by the terms of the agreement or contract. If so, they have likely created a legally enforceable contract or agreement regardless of whether they call it a contract or an MOU.
Revolt against corporate capitalism. Vote Bernie 2020.
How doesn’t he realize people are laughing at him
Donal Trump is the worst kind of idiot. One that is in a position to influence and ignorant of his own stupidity.
I'm a plumber and I fully understood it the first time
They are wrong. A memo of understanding is the first part of forming a binding contract. It is NOT a binding contract at all whatsoever. Google it for God's sake.
Which WE asked for.
This is not a business contract. On international relations between countries formal contracts have no legal bidding. MOUs have. Just listen to the USA representatives on the meeting who are the experts on these issues.
SMH
Just when I think I could not be anymore embarrassed to be an American....Trump opens his mouth again. My 11 yr old is smarter than this guy.
Heather J …. They could do a seminar on the Dunning-Kruger Effect with this tape being the case study .
Hehehe....but that plumpy trumpy never wanna to shut his no single cent mouth. Real thick skin and a most shameless individual.
Before talking, look it up yourself instead of believing these loud mouthed TYT without checking
@@acousticsong-guitarco964 I absolutely look at all sides and do my own research. I am 43 yrs old and wise enough to never go on blind faith. Which is why I firmly stand behind my comment. Maybe you should not assume you know a random person on internet and assume you know my reasoning for making comment...How is that different than what you accused me of? smh
The real thing, is that Trump is the kind of guy who would pursue that conversation in a room full of reporters in front of a foreign diplomat. He didn't have the process of a deal locked down with his staff BEFORE having a publicity event? No standards of professionalism at all
He's a joke.
I can't think of any other world leader who's had so many people openly laughing at him, right in front of him!
He's like a little child. Mental age of about 10 years.
7k comments saying TYT is trash, yet somehow the video only has 964 dislikes, and almost 5k likes...suspicious.
964 trolls defending the orange goon!
Was wondering the same darn thing
@Redman Trump Fan ok I take it back. I'm sorry! He is an orange clown. Is that better?
What's suspicious is your IQ

Description: When the claim that most or many people in general or of a particular group accept a belief as true is presented as evidence for the claim. Accepting another person’s belief, or many people’s beliefs, without demanding evidence as to why that person accepts the belief, is lazy thinking and a dangerous way to accept information.
@@animestatic8493 why can't you say the same about Trump? You do know what Trump does don't you? I hope you do.
I am Dutch, and never in my life did I think I would enjoy American politics this much. Even looking for it on UA-cam has become a thing. I would like to thank mr Trump for this. Fresh material everyday. 😂😂
@NonyaBusiness! Ifeel CV sorry for you. The world is laughing at Trump. Trump is not making America Great, he is damaging your place in the world.
@NonyaBusiness! the rest of the world is also suffering the consequences. I find it hard to laugh at, it's indeed painful
@NonyaBusiness! Just don't stop - hold your ground - find proof you're right and T'Rump is wrong!
"If you can't understand that Trump is stupid, then you're stupid" truer words were never spoken...
Did The Young Turks just lose massive credibility?
You would think.
Did they ever hold any real.credibility???.nope...but it i funny.watching them make fools of themselves.....
Ok people, you do know, that the person Trump is arguing with is his own chief negotiator, right?
It is his own chief negotiator who is telling reporters that an mou is a binding contract and maybe he has a better understanding than those of us who can use google and type mou.
Wow! Cognitive dissonance at work!
MOUs are a percursor to a final binding contract, not a contract. Its like someting your boss sends to all the employees by email telling them that the company made x amount this year and bounuses will be paid on the date previously agreed to in the union contract. MOUs are just that. Basically a memo to explain the basic agreed upon facts. Its a document from which a contract can be constructed. It wont always contain explicit details about the what, who, where, when, how much and how long. That's what is called a treaty or contract or agreement. Was the Treaty of Versailles called a Memorandum of Understanding of Versailles? No.
because he has never honoured a contract in his life
A memorandum of understanding (MOU) is a nonbinding agreement between two or more parties outlining the terms and details of an understanding, including each parties' requirements and responsibilities. An MOU is often the first stage in the formation of a formal contract. Trump was 100% correct
My fave part is that this all happened on film, not in some back room without a recorder!
I wonder when tyt will learn what a MOU is?
They know. You and your buffoon president are the ones that should learn what it means on international terms. But well, I must admit, you morons are all synchronized!
@@bruno_dias Even on international terms, it can be ambiguous. Trump doesn't waste time with ambiguous terms. Try again
@@waterdragon2012 No it can't be ambiguous. As usually, you Trump supporters are trying to defend his incompetence and low IQ with stupid arguments. It may work for people with cognitive limitations but not for normal decent human beings.
@@bruno_dias Sorry you're too lazy to do some research to discover that even on international terms, a memorandum of understanding is only a preliminary. Trump doesn't want to waste time with preliminaries, he's just trying to finalize the deal and the mou route wastes time. Sorry this is hard for your brain to compute.
@@waterdragon2012 No it isn't. Go check for yourself. Also, just listen to the USA representatives in the video. Don't be a moron and try to argument with no substance.
That is a national embarrassment, and the left lost to that in 2016.
I LOVE TYT
Superminority no, we lost to that in 2016. Heaven help us!

I went on Twitter today and read Trump's tweets. Good lord! Incoherent sentences, bad punctuation and the inappropriate use of adjectives. He never gets to a point, hasn't got a viable premise and obviously no solution to America's problems. Poor impulse control and narcissism. Ugh
I DON'T LIKE M.O.U.'S LOL
Toddler Don: "I don't know what a memorandum is but I don't want one!"
Fine Donny, we'll take the EXACT SAME document and call it an "agreement" instead.
Toddler Don: "I'm a smart boy!"
It's no wonder that Rex Tillerson called Trump a "fking moron."
As a European I'll never understand how this guy is still president, I'm not educated in US laws or how their political system works, but however it works, they're clearly doing SOMETHING wrong.
Don't worry. Trump isn't educated on US Law either. I guess that means you have all the qualifications to be our President.
@@stanj85 Nah cuz you need to be born American to be US president XD
As Americans you may find it awful as a non American I find it hilarious, best comedy series ever
Dump trump
From a friend, take this video down. U two are wrong!!!! U are completely wrong... 100% wrong... anyone who does any amount of day to day dealings knows that MOU’s are a way to stay up to date in the negotiations... but legally they mean nothing!!! It’s amazing to me how sure u two were of yourselves... yikes
Anthony R. How do you write such a long paragraph doubling down on TYT getting it wrong? Is this what cognitive dissonance looks like? Or Stockholm syndrome? Stop defending propaganda.
Remember when you didn’t know the answer to a question on your test so you just reworded the question as the answer? This is Trump.
“A memorandum of understanding is exactly that-it’s a memorandum of what our understanding is.”
I can see Donny's book report now: The Catcher in the Rye is the story about a catcher who lives in Rye bread.
hudsle lmao. “It’s exactly that.”
they're leaving out that the Chinese negotiaters audibly *laughed* at trump. Some news outlets are reporting it and it is clear on the full video.
Chain Breaker I was thinking that as well. They may have left it out because it wasn’t absolutely certain that was the case. But I think they were laughing at Trump.
You all do realize Trump was right, don't you? An MOU is not a binding contract and TYT was 100% wrong! they're the ones that should be embarrassed!! lol
😂9k comments and 5k are the definition of MOU

Cenk is so right. This is a National Embarrassment!
M.O.U. is not a legally binding contract within the United States, it is an agreed upon short term gentlemans agreement for goods, services, or regulations. Trump wants a long term trade contract which doesn't fall under the purview of an M.O.U.
This is not just within the US, this is international law. And in international law MOUs can be legally binding.
So why is he still president? If anyone else did this they would be fired from office, if you didn't have the proper understanding to do the actual job??? Why is everything in america made so complicated? This is so stupid.

Hahahah
Our "Businessman President" everybody.
TYT is wrong. An MOU is NOT A BINDING CONTRACT. I hate to say it, but Trump is right. Maybe you guys should do a quick google search before you go on your usual rant of trump.
Do a deeper search rather than clicking on the first google result. It can be binding in international relations and Lighthizer just explained that it is.
S Tristan no, you are wrong. The MOA can also be a legal document that is binding and hold the parties responsible to their commitment or just a partnership agreement.

Is anyone still wondering how he bankrupted his Casino ?
Casinos. Plural. Bankrupted.
Jussie Smollett endorses this video.
The idiocracy is unbelievable
With you I know
To be pedantic an MOU is an agreement between one or more parties setting out mutually agreeable objectives and outcomes. It does not necessarily have or seek to be legally binding. However, any agreement becomes legally binding when a mutually agreed offer is made by one party and the terms and conditions of the offer are accepted by another and where there is an intention by the parties to enter into a legal agreement. Further, there must be some consideration in terms of economic value transferred. If any agreement contains these elements it is a legally binding agreement irrespective of what it is called. If Trump is unaware of this at the level he has and is working then he must be an idiot.
His sheer stupidity IS a NATIONAL EMERGENCY!!!!!!!!!
I agree

Harsh but pretty true
It ain't right but it's accurate.....
This is like me trying to convince my 5 year old that the people on tv are just playing a role.
Me: “They are actors, not real vampires. They are pretending.”
My daughter:”But they are real. I saw them on tv mom! They drink your blood and can turn into bats and everything!”
Me: The things you see on tv are tricks. They use fake blood and computer graphics to make it look real.”
My daughter: “Well why would they do that?! Trying to scare us on purpose!? It’s not very nice.”
Me: I explain what entertainment is while trying not to laugh at her innocence.
This can go on for at least an hour if I don’t provide answers that she feels are acceptable. Which is ok. However, for our President to have little to no understanding of basic legal terms is unacceptable. At least my daughter is inquisitive enough to want to know the answers.
Haha. Right?!

In international treaty, it's only determined whether it's legally binding after contest, meaning that one can argue their way out of an MoU, but not anything like an up-front legal contract through the UN. And that's what Trump is talking about. He wants something that's legally binding up front within the international justice system, not after the fact.
You are right about the legal definition of what an MOU is in the United States. But the video is talking about international trade deals with China, and for the Chinese it is a legally binding contract.
@@marytakahashi4275 What the Chinese see it as doesn't matter. What matters is in international court. An MoU is only determined to be legally binding or not after a party to the MoU contests it.

Dislikes are catching up. Are we all Russian bots and trolls, TYT? Just keep telling yourselves that. Make a video about it. Your fans will feel better.
Even after the trade representative explained it thoroughly, there are still people in this comments section who think an international MOU is not a binding contract. This is why Trump was elected.
Right! When _the_ US trade representative tells you what something is..it is exactly that.

@@TheTobyjamesdawson - Except they didn't get it wrong. MOUs often are legally binding when it comes to international law, not so much in business.

And since his ego won't allow him to ever be wrong, we get situations like this where foreign dignitaries are openly laughing at him.

Impeach for incompetence.
Since the Young Turks are too stupid to do a simple search
A memorandum of understanding (MOU) is not legally binding but is viewed as a serious document by the law. In the United States, an MOU is the same as a letter of intent, which is a nonbinding agreement stating a binding agreement will soon follow. MOUs are most often used as part of multinational international relations because, unlike treaties, they are quick and can be kept secret. However, MOUs can also be used domestically and as a tool to modify existing treaties.
MOUs vary in length and complexity, but each understanding represents mutually accepted expectations between people, organizations or governments. Other key similarities between all MOUs is they are not legally binding and do not involve the exchange of money.
Legal Ramifications of an MOU
An MOU signals a legal contract is imminent. However, an MOU itself is not legally defensible but should still clearly outline specific points of an understanding. An MOU should describe the parties are, the project on which they are agreeing, the scope of the document, each parties' roles and responsibilities, and more. An MOU can help two parties move in the right direction toward an agreement.
An MOU, while not an enforceable document, still holds a lot of power because of the time, energy and resources needed to draft an effective and fair document. An MOU forces the participating parties to reach a semblance of a mutual understanding, and, in the process, the two sides naturally mediate and figure out what is most important in moving toward an eventual future agreement that benefits both sides.
Basic Process for Drafting an MOU
Each party starts with a planning phase in which it decides on the desired outcome, what it can offer, what it is willing to negotiate, and what is non-negotiable. An initial draft is then written, after which representatives from each party meet to discuss the details. MOUs often list communication expectations to help the mediation process.
During this time, agreements regarding the timeline for when the MOU takes effect are discussed. Agreements outlining how or when a party can terminate the understanding are also decided. This is when a party inserts disclaimers, restrictions or privacy statements, as desired. Once discussions are finished, a final MOU is drafted and signed.

If you watch the whole video, you'll hear the Chinese negotiator actually laugh out loud when Trump refuses to understand that an MOU is the same as a contract. Such an embarrassment. It's really hard to watch the whole thing because of the cringe and second hand embarrassment.
MOUs are less formal than contracts, and typically include fewer details and complexities, but they are more formal than handshake agreements, sometimes called gentlemen's agreements. They generally are non binding.
The Chinese man laughed because Trump had it right and they wont get away with a meaningless MOU any more. That was respect for someone catching on to the game they have played in the past.

If so, they have likely created a legally enforceable contract or agreement regardless of whether they call it a contract or an MOU.
Rather than be led like a sheep, google Memorandom of Understanding. Then you will realize how dangerous it is to believe everything you hear.
UA-cam IS MALICIOUSLY MANIPULATING THE LIKE TO DISLIKE RATIO. BEWARE.
The way you two were so sure of yourselves about something which you were so wrong about made me pretty mad, but the comment section restored my faith in humanity.
How about the 4.8k likes to 964 dislikes? Faith not restored.
You made an oopsie. It isn't a binding contract, it's a non binding agreement.
Google it
@usucdik no dumbass mainstream media has been lying you liberal
Trump either cannot or will not understand.
Looks like everyone on the comments understand the definition of an MOU.... hilarious.
No, most have had the intelligence to look it up, and TYT didn't
Parent: “You’re going to get a lollipop” Child: “NOOOO! I want a sucker!!!!” Parent “But a lollipop IS a sucker!” Child: “I disagree! Parent: “OK, you’re going to get a sucker, I’ll never call it a lollipop again”.
Although TYT is completely wrong here about MOUs, it is entertaining to watch them scream hysterically at nothing.
Google search result for "memorandum of understanding"....
A memorandum of understanding (MOU) is a nonbinding agreement between two or more parties outlining the terms and details of an understanding, including each parties' requirements and responsibilities. An MOU is often the first stage in the formation of a formal contract.
Welcome to illiteracy 101..haha trump's ahead of the class!!
Holy smokes a quick google search proves you two gazoos are HILARIOUSLY WRONG
I laughed out loud 7 times
You gazoos
Holy cow, you idiots have no idea what you are talking about. In real estate deals an MOU is not a binding contract but in international trade negotiations IT IS!!!
Lethgar Smith Completely wrong, it depends on how the document is written, the arena in which it is written has no bearing on whether it is binding or not.
If you read a little further you will see that In international relations, MoUs fall under the broad category of treaties. To determine whether a particular MoU is meant to be a legally binding document (i.e., a treaty), one needs to examine the parties’ intent as well as the signatories' position such as President of the United States or Chinese Premier.
In this case, the MoU was the document they were going to sign. It acts as a treaty, It is legally binding. The advantage is that by not calling it a treaty they can do it without legislative approval.
Trump is an idiot. You really cant defend this man without being an idiot yourself.

MoUs are binding in international law, term is used differently to private/corporate law.
At 1:25 he says it a binding agreement
@@gdbjamdtcfan exactly but snowflake trump supporters cannot understand that
MOU's are non-binding in domestic and common law, but that's not necessarily true in the rest of the world, which is where the confusion lies. In China, MOUs are written differently and understood to have legal consequences (unlike the US), and that makes them binding in effect. Whereas Western businesses would work from a MOU toward a formalized contract, the Chinese are satisfied with MOUs; further insisting on contracts is considered a dick move. As Dan Harris repeatedly warns folks: "When dealing with China, it is important you treat an MOU with a Chinese company just as you would a binding contract."
The U.S. State Department warns us not to automatically denote international MOUs as "non-binding" for this very reason: other countries might not have the same definition as us. So it's important to understand the international context before deciding on definitions and terms, something many of our Google-fu practitioners fail to do.
Cenk doesn’t even know Lightheizers name and yet he’s talking him up like he’s the only one that could really know what an MOU is.
I think he confounds with Alzheimer?
just seeing all the comments calling you out for NOT simply researching the term "MOU" is great... saves me the trouble... your credibility and flaming bias is as bad as cnn's or any other msm news outlet!
I did Google it and it turns out TYT are very, very right.
They are mere morons, YOU ARE A MEGA MORON TO THE Nth Degree for ASSuming they would research PROPERLY. (ie, read more than one sentence). From the _'second paragraph'_ as it were, if you will: *_Legal Requirements of a BINDING MOA/MOU:_* *Whether a MOA/MOU document constitutes a binding contract depends only on the presence or absence of well-defined legal elements in the text proper of the document (the so-called "four corners").* The required elements are: offer and acceptance, consideration, and the intention to be legally bound (animus contrahendi). In the U.S., the specifics can differ slightly depending on whether the contract is for goods (falls under the Uniform Commercial Code [UCC]) or services (falls under the common law of the state).
In business a MOA/MOU is generally considered a Gentleman's agreement, however Government agencies use MOU/MOA's to define a legally binding contracted relationship.
@@davidcook9852 I think your Google needs to be fixed, because it told you something that is very, very, very wrong.
President Fredo J. Trump: "I can handle things! I'm smart! Not like everybody says... like dumb... I'm smart and I want respect!"
They didn't talk about the Asian guy laughing at him. How did they miss that.
Plural
Maybe because after representatives from several countries laughed at Trump in the UN, one lone Asian guy laughing at Trump isn't big news anymore.
He laughed because he was caught knowing that they can't use MOU's just to pretend it is a contract any longer. A memorandum of understanding (MOU) is a nonbinding agreement between two or more parties outlining the terms and details of an understanding, including each parties' requirements and responsibilities. An MOU is often the first stage in the formation of a formal contract. Trump was 100% correct
How, how, how did tRump manage to survive in the world, I mean even to tie his laces!! Good lord this man is so THICK!!
The toung yurks GO SUK SORROWS ASS NWO SHILLS
Sucks to admit, but Trump was right here. MOU is not necessarily legally binding. Ive done my own with companies. It is what we use when we come to an understanding of the general framework after the proposal.
Proposal to MOU to Contract
ITS A TRADE AGREEMENT, NOT A "TRADE MOU." A TRADE AGREEMENT IS A TREATY, WHICH IS A BINDING INTERNATIONAL CONTRACT. GO WIKIPEDIA "TRADE AGREEMENT."
There is a big difference between a MOU in business and politics, especially when it comes to trade deals. As long as an MOU meets the requirements of a contract and is registered under international law, it's a legally binding treaty between the parties involved involved.
@@johndane3261 apparently trade agreements may be called MOU.
So according to The Young Turks an mou is the same thing as a legally binding contract, it's the same thing as a treaty and it's the same thing as a trade agreement. Did they ever stop to ask themselves why we named all those things differently?
In this context its a trade agreement, just labelled as an MOU, its what his top negotiator said. In international agreements an MOU can be binding, the state department also says this under 'Guidance on Non-Binding Documents'
