What did Donald Trump say
Donald Trump wrote in his post, ‘Based on the disrespect that China has shown towards the world markets, I am increasing the tariff imposed by the United States on China to 125% with immediate effect. Hopefully in the near future China will realize that the days of looting America and other countries are no longer sustainable and acceptable. On the contrary, based on the fact that more than 75 countries have convened representatives of the United States, including the Department of Commerce, Treasury and USTR, to negotiate topics related to trade, trade barriers, tariffs, currency manipulation and non-monetary charges and that these countries, at my suggestion, have not retaliated in any way against the United States, I have decided to pause the tariffs for 90 days. Also, during this period, I have authorized a much lower reciprocal tariff of 10%, which will take effect immediately. Thank you for your attention to this matter!’
The Treasury Secretary had suggested negotiations
After China imposed an 84 percent tariff on American products, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant had told Fox Business Network that Beijing’s tariff was “unfortunate”.
