Donald Trump Proposes Significant Reduction in China Tariffs Amid Ongoing Trade Negotiations

ai generated text

Trump's suggestion to reduce tariffs to 80% was made in a post on his social media account, Truth Social, where he referred to US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and stated "80% Tariff on China seems right! Up to Scott B". The proposed cut has been seen as a potential easing of tensions ahead of a weekend meeting between top US officials and a high-level Chinese delegation in Switzerland.

    Donald Trump
    Republican Party
    1. We're going to see. Right now you can't get any higher. It's at 145% so we know it's coming down. I think we're going to have a very good relationship.
  2. US
    Karoline Leavitt
    Republican Party
    1. China would need to make concessions as well.
  3. US
    White House
    1. When decisions on tariffs are made, they will come directly from the President. Anything else is just pure speculation.
  4. US
    Howard Lutnick
    US Department of Commerce
    1. The president would like to work it out with China.... He would like to de-escalate the situation.
  5. CN
    Hua Chunying
    Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs
    1. We do not want any kind of war with any country. But we have to face up to the reality. As you can see, people have full confidence in our capability to overcome all the difficulties … Ordinary people in the US already feel suffering from the tariff war.
  6. CN
    He Yadong
    Chinese Commerce Ministry
    1. If you say one thing and do another, or even attempt to continue to coerce and blackmail under the guise of talks, China will never agree, much less sacrifice its principled position of international fairness and justice to seek any agreement.
  7. US
    Lawrence Rosen
    Cra-Z-Art
    1. We are hearing China at 50% to 54% and other Asian countries at 25%.
  8. HK
    Zhiwei Zhang
    Pinpoint Asset Management
    1. This may be partly due to transshipment through other countries, and partly because of trade contracts that were signed before the tariffs were announced.
    2. I expect trade data will weaken in the next few months gradually.
