Is there an idiom that means that you are in a very strong negotiation position in a negotiation? If there's no such idiom can you think of an idiom that means that you are in a stronger position than someone or something else? I am thinking of using the word in an essay on the U.S.-China trade war.
Answer
I suggest "having the upper hand".
Oxford defines this as:
have (or gain) the upper hand (phrase) Have or gain advantage or control over someone or something.
and provides this example sentence:
Just when Claudius thinks he controls Hamlet, it is really Hamlet who has the upper hand over Claudius.
