The claim that U.S. President Donald Trump is continuing tariff negotiations with China has once again been denied by the Beijing administration.
While the claim of tariff negotiations between Donald Trump and China is still being debated, a new statement has come from the Chinese side.
THEY DENIED THE CLAIMS
In a statement from China's embassy in Washington, it was noted that the claim that the parties are in negotiations regarding tariffs is "completely misleading."
The statement included, "China and the U.S. have not conducted any consultations or negotiations, let alone reach an agreement regarding tariffs."
WHAT HAPPENED?
U.S. President Donald Trump, in an interview with Time magazine yesterday and in statements to reporters before attending Pope Francis's funeral, claimed that he had spoken with Chinese President Xi Jinping regarding tariffs, stating that details would be revealed at the appropriate time.
China reacted to U.S. President Donald Trump's "reciprocal tariffs" announced on April 2, and responded in kind. In the end, the tariff standoff between the two countries led the U.S. to raise its customs tariff on China to 145%, while Beijing increased its tariff to 125%.
The Washington administration postponed the reciprocal tariffs imposed on other countries for 90 days, while those directed at China went into effect.
