Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick stated:
"Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and I were with the President when he wrote one of the strongest messages on Truth Social. The whole world is ready to cooperate with the U.S. to rebuild global trade – while China chooses confrontation."
In just 2 weeks, President Trump's series of tough actions has clarified who is a friend and who is a foe:
• Reassured about tariffs, then unexpectedly announced a "shock" tax rate.
• The majority of countries chose to negotiate, while a few sided with China.
• The global market was on fire when he rejected all tax exemption proposals and made it clear he no longer prioritized securities.
• Suddenly announced a 90-day delay on tariffs for most countries, keeping only a 10% rate – causing the market to surge back.
• At the same time, he raised import tariffs on China to 125%, effective immediately.
President Trump is gradually isolating China – and the world is choosing to stand with him.
