Washington: US President Donald Trump has dropped a major letter bomb ( letter bomb ) on China. On his Truth social media account, Trump launched a major attack on China on several issues. This has caused a stir around the world. This letter bomb from Trump has increased the possibility of a major rift in relations between the US and China. Why did Trump write this letter to China, what is its purpose, and what is in it… Let’s find out the full story.
What Trump wrote in the quoted letter to China
The US President wrote in the letter, “Some very strange things are happening in China! They have become very hostile and are sending letters to countries around the world saying they want to impose export controls on everything related to rare earth elements, and anything else they can think of, even if it’s not manufactured in China. Nothing like this has ever been seen before, but it could disrupt markets and make life difficult for almost every country in the world, especially China.”
Fear of a major US-China trade war again
Trump further wrote, “We have been contacted by other countries who are extremely upset by this sudden trade hostility (from China). We had a very good relationship with China over the past six months, and this trade move is even more surprising. I always felt like they were waiting in the wings, and now, as always, I’ve been proven right!”
China cannot be allowed to hold the world hostage: Trump
Trump further wrote in the letter, “China should not be allowed to hold the world “hostage,” but it appears this has been their plan for a long time, starting with “magnets” and other elements that they have secretly turned into a kind of monopoly, which is at the very least a nefarious and hostile move. But the U.S. also has monopoly positions, far stronger and more extensive than China’s. I simply chose not to use them because, until now, there was no reason to! The letter they sent is several pages long, and it details in great detail each element they want to prevent from other countries. Things that used to be normal are no longer normal. I did not speak to President Xi because there was no reason to do so. This was a real surprise not only to me, but to the leaders of the entire free world.”
Trump said, “I would have met with Xi Jinping next week, but now there’s no reason to.”
Trump wrote, “I was supposed to meet President Xi at the APEC summit in South Korea in the next two weeks, but now there seems to be no reason to do so. The Chinese letters were particularly inappropriate, as it was the day when, after three thousand years of chaos and conflict, there is peace in the Middle East. I wonder if it was a coincidence of timing?”
Trump furious about China
Trump wrote in his lengthy article, “Depending on what China says about the hostile “order” issued by China, I, as President of the United States, will have to financially retaliate against their move. We have two options for the element they have monopolized. I never thought this would happen, but perhaps, as with everything, the time has come. Ultimately, although it may be painful, it will ultimately be very good for the United States. The policy calculations we are currently making include a substantial increase in import tariffs on Chinese products into the United States.” Furthermore, Several other countermeasures are being seriously considered. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”
