Former U.S. President Donald Trump expressed optimism about reaching a trade agreement with China after a recent phone call with Chinese President Xi Jinping. In an interview with Fox News, Trump described the conversation as "good and friendly," highlighting key discussions on trade, TikTok, and Taiwan.
While Trump had previously proposed a 10% punitive tariff on Chinese imports during his campaign, citing issues like fentanyl being funneled through Mexico and Canada, he has yet to implement such measures. Trump emphasized that while he would prefer not to impose tariffs, they remain a powerful tool in negotiations, stating, "We have one very big power over China, and that's tariffs, and they don't want them."
The ongoing U.S.-China tension encompasses trade disputes, technological and military rivalries, and concerns over TikTok's Chinese parent company, ByteDance. Trump's remarks hint at his willingness to resolve these issues through dialogue while retaining tariffs as leverage.
As the world's two largest economies navigate their strained relationship, Trump's optimistic stance offers a glimpse of potential progress despite the deep economic and diplomatic challenges.
