Donald Trump Announces 90-Day Tariff Reduction with China
ai generated text
Following the 90-day trade truce agreed upon by China and the United States, global stock markets have reacted positively, with the S&P 500, Dow Jones, and Nasdaq experiencing significant gains, ranging from 2.4% to 3.3%. The US Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent, describes the talks as "productive" and "robust." A key aspect of the agreement is the reduction of tariffs on both sides. The US has agreed to lower its tariffs on Chinese goods from 145% to 30%, while China has agreed to reduce its tariffs on US imports from 125% to 10%.
As we say back in China, 'If the dishes are delicious, the timing doesn't matter'.
The meeting achieved substantial progress, and reached important consensus.
These discussions may be conducted alternately in China and the United States, or a third country upon agreement of the Parties. As required, the two sides may conduct working-level consultations on relevant economic and trade issues.
They've agreed to open China, fully open China, and I think it's going to be fantastic for China, I think it's going to be fantastic for us, and I think it's going to be great for unification and peace.
It's important to understand how quickly we were able to come to an agreement, which reflects that perhaps the differences were not so large as maybe thought.
We're confident that the deal we struck with our Chinese partners will help us to work toward resolving that national emergency.
This was a larger-than-expected de-escalation and represents an upgrade to the outlook, though the negotiation process will likely remain challenging.
And what had occurred with these very high tariffs ... was the equivalent of an embargo, and neither side wants that. We do want trade.
The consensus from both delegations this weekend was neither side wants a decoupling.
Businesses need predictability to maintain normal operations and make investment decisions.
While the Chamber is encouraged by the decision, uncertainty remains.
But is there things the two sides can do for one another that would make both sides happy, at least a little bit? Sure, there absolutely must be.
