🇺🇸 Donald Trump: a new era in trade with China
The former US president made a statement on key issues in global trade and manufacturing policy:
✅ Trade with China: reboot
"We have achieved a complete reboot of relations with the PRC"
Tariff reductions will not affect cars, steel, aluminum, or pharmaceuticals
"China has agreed to open its market to the US"
Non-tariff barriers will be removed
📞 A new contact with Xi Jinping may be possible by the end of the week
🏭 Manufacturing and pharmaceuticals
"I spoke with Tim Cook: Apple will start actively manufacturing in the US"
"Drug prices will drop by 90% — we will no longer allow pharmaceutical companies to profit excessively"
🌍 EU – a new target
"The EU is worse than China. Europe must pay more for healthcare"
Without a deal, tariffs on China could rise again to 145%
📉 Conclusion for crypto investors:
Return to an aggressive US trade policy
Negotiations with China affect the dollar exchange rate and risk appetite
Possible strengthening of crypto as a hedge instrument amid trade conflicts
