Trump Declares New China Deal “Done”
In a bold Truth Social post, Donald J. Trump announced that a new U.S.–China trade deal is finalized, pending personal approval from both him and President Xi. He emphasized that China will supply full magnets and necessary rare earth materials upfront, while the U.S. will honor its commitments—including access for Chinese students to American universities.
Trump highlighted a 55% tariff imposed on Chinese goods, compared to 10% on U.S. exports, framing it as a win for American industry. “Relationship is excellent!” he added, signaling optimism despite past tensions.
The announcement suggests a major shift in trade dynamics if Trump returns to office, reviving his aggressive stance on tariffs while balancing strategic cooperation.
The focus on education, critical materials, and national supply chains reflects Trump’s broader push for “America First” policies in trade, without fully severing ties with China.
