Donald Trump has indicated a willingness to lower tariffs on Chinese imports, signaling a potential shift in trade strategy. Economists caution that easing tariffs may grant China leverage and allow it to prolong negotiations for more favorable terms. While Trump suggested tariffs could drop significantly, he has not yet met with China's President Xi Jinping, complicating the process. Observers note that Trump's urgency seems driven by a need for a quick resolution, which contrasts with China's more measured approach, highlighted by its warnings against US coercive tactics.
Donald Trump has suggested he is prepared to reduce the 145 percent tariffs on Chinese imports, but economists warn this may empower China.
Despite Trump's tough talk, analysts see signs of anxiety as he rushes towards a trade deal that China could afford to delay.
