President Donald Trump, April 9, expressed his optimism that an agreement with China was still at hand, despite the tension between the two powers degenerating after having decided to increase taxes on Chinese products to 125%.
Addressing the press at the White House, Trump praised the Chinese presidentXi JinpingAnd let the ability to negotiate directly.
“XI is an intelligent person, and we will end up making a very good deal,” said Trump and called the Chinese president “one of the most intelligent people in the world” and “the exact person to do and love him”.
Trump added that he was ready to consider a conversation with XI.
“President XI -I am precious, I respect him, of course, I am ready to see him,” Trump told journalists in the oval room on April 9.
“I think that investing in the United States will be the best investment. Then there will be a call at some point, and it will start,” added Trump.
According to Times of India, although Mr. Trump has a mediating tone, US trade tensions have been sincerely concentrated this week. On April 9, Trump increased the tax rate imposed for all goods imported from China to 125% (to count immediately), on the grounds that Beijing was “disrespectful” of global commercial standards.
China had previously increased taxes on American products to 84%, in a decision described by analysts as “Tat Tat”. Beijing tax action takes place after the last increase in American taxes – bring the tax on Chinese products to 104% – from the start of April 9.
The Chinese Ministry of Commerce states that the American rate increases is counterproductive and warns that Beijing “has a firm will and abundant means to take the necessary and combat measures until the end”.
When he was asked if he intended to continue to increase taxes, Trump said: “I don’t think I should do it.” However, the White House said that the campaign that was pressure on China was not over.
US Finance Minister Scott Bessent told American media that the American strategy was promoting effective forcing from Beijing to return to the negotiation table.
However, Beijing does not seem to be in a hurry. The daily people of the people – The oral tip of the Chinese Communist Party – underlined the “strong resistance” of the Chinese economy, which accumulated the “rich experience of struggle” of 8 years of trade war with Washington. However, the newspaper also confirmed that China had not closed the dialogue door.
Meanwhile, Trump continues to believe in “personal diplomacy”. While speaking to the oval office, he suddenly went from the commercial theme to American military power before returning to talk about the agreement with Beijing.
“We have weapons that no one knows,” said Trump. “But we will reach an agreement. An equitable agreement for all parties.”
Chinese President Xi Jinping declared the strengthening of strategic relations with neighboring countries by differences in “satisfactory manipulation” …
