You can't trust Trump with any deal. I'm willing to bet they'll back down from their deal and Ford will have to bring the threat back and negotiate again, etc.

Probably; but it's a show of good faith that we are actually willing to come to an agreement, and it's also more opportunity for the US to hang itself on the public stage.

We'll give you the rope; we'd rather you made a bow with it, but if you want to make a noose that's your choice.

Why do we have to show good faith while they show zero?

Because it's not all of America that we're against; it's the current administration and it's supporters. It's better to keep the citizens on our side, sympathetic to our problems. Especially when this administration fails and America gets around to rebuilding.

It also looks good from other nations to see we aren't being unreasonable or cruel, just standing up for ourselves. That will help when it comes to building relationships with those other nations and allow us to strengthen trade elsewhere.

Be the bigger person. It pays off in ways that aren't always obvious.

Yep just like people captulated to Hitler, cause they don't want to ruffle any feathers.
