#美国加征关税

In early April, Trump initiated a global tariff war, and 40 days later, both China and the U.S. finally sat down at the negotiation table to cool down the escalating trade war. On May 12, China and the U.S. issued a joint statement announcing a significant reduction of 115% in tariffs imposed since April, with 91% of the tariffs being directly canceled and 24% suspended for 90 days. What exactly happened in the past 40 days that changed Trump's mind and ultimately led him to make concessions? The reason for Trump's shift in attitude is mainly due to the enormous impact the tariff war had on the U.S., which far exceeded expectations, while China's firm stance in retaliation also greatly surpassed his predictions. Under this dual pressure, the shrewd Trump quickly adjusted his 'deal' strategy.
