🚨 TRADE WAR ROUND 2? CHINA RESPONDS AFTER TRUMP’S TARIFF TRUCE ACCUSATION 🚨
Tensions are flaring again between the world’s two largest economies 🔥
Former President Trump has accused China of “TOTALLY VIOLATING” the recently established tariff truce, just weeks after high-stakes negotiations in Geneva. While Trump didn’t offer specifics, U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer claims that China failed to lift key non-tariff barriers — a central part of the agreement.
Trump’s statement on Truth Social was blunt:
> “I made a FAST DEAL to save them... Everybody was happy! The bad news is... CHINA HAS TOTALLY VIOLATED ITS AGREEMENT. So much for being Mr. NICE GUY!”
China was quick to respond, calling the U.S. out for maintaining “discriminatory restrictions” — though notably, they didn’t directly deny the allegations. That silence is rattling markets.
🔍 What's really going on?
Although both sides agreed to remove tariffs, China has reportedly maintained other pressure tactics:
Blacklisting U.S. companies
Restricting exports of rare earth magnets — essential for tech, EVs, and aerospace
Greer told CNBC:
> “They removed the tariff like we did, but... the countermeasures? They’ve slowed on those.”
