President Trump has made a bold move in the ongoing trade war by announcing a 90-day pause or reduction in tariffs on imports from over 75 countries, with one notable exception – China. Instead of easing tariffs on Chinese goods, Trump has decided to raise them to a staggering 125%. This decision comes hot on the heels of the implementation of new tariffs and is reportedly aimed at boosting negotiations with trading partners and responding to their requests.
The White House’s announcement has sent shockwaves through the global economy, with many closely watching how China will respond to this significant escalation in trade tensions. The move is sure to have a major impact on businesses and consumers alike, as the cost of imported goods from China is likely to rise dramatically.
While the details of the new tariffs and their impact are yet to be fully understood, one thing is clear – President Trump is not backing down in his tough stance on trade with China. The coming months will undoubtedly be crucial for the future of US-China relations and the global economy.
