Trump Claims Tariffs on China Will Be Reduced, US-China Trade Talks to Start This Weekend

🌍 The global economic community is closely watching this matter!

Trump suddenly made a bold statement, saying that the US and China will hold a super important trade negotiation this weekend. At the same time, Trump revealed that the tariffs imposed by the US on China, which have reached as high as 145%, have already peaked and will definitely be reduced moving forward. He confidently stated, "Let's wait and see, the tariffs can't go up anymore, so they must come down. I believe the relationship between the two countries will definitely improve in the future."

📅 The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs previously announced

At the request of the United States, the heads of economic and trade for both countries will meet with US Treasury Secretary Becerra during their visit to Switzerland from May 9 to 12.

🗣️ Chinese Ministry of Commerce spokesperson He Yadong responded on the 8th

If the US truly wants to resolve issues through negotiation, they need to recognize how their unilateral tariff hikes have had a significant negative impact on themselves and the entire world. They need to show some sincerity in negotiations, take action to rectify their wrongdoings, and cancel those unilateral tariffs.

He Yadong also emphasized: "If the US says one thing and does another, trying to use negotiations as an excuse to continue threats, China absolutely will not agree, nor will it compromise its principles or disregard international fairness and justice to reach an agreement."
