China Tariff Deal: Trump Administration’s Urgency for Market Assurance
Urgency in China Tariff Deal
Former New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu (R) remarked that the Trump administration has ‘about six weeks’ to finalize a China tariff deal that would bolster confidence in the market and among small businesses. Speaking on CNN’s State of the Union, Sununu noted progress was made in recent discussions but emphasized the need for decisive action.
Negotiation Developments
The tariff policy initiated during Trump’s second term has raised concerns among trading partners such as China and has created instability in global markets. Trump has signaled a readiness to lower tariffs significantly, proposing an 80 percent tariff on Chinese imports, drastically reducing the current rate from 145 percent.
Trade Relations Reset
Trump later expressed optimism regarding U.S.-China relations, mentioning a ‘total reset’ during negotiations held in Switzerland. He emphasized that constructive discussions could lead to favorable outcomes for both nations, enhancing American business opportunities in China.
Future Trade Agreements
Sununu also pointed out that the recently forged U.K.-U.S. trade deal could lay a foundation for future progress under the Trump administration’s trade strategy.
