Yesterday, while hosting Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese at the White House, U.S. President Donald Trump spoke about the ongoing trade war with China, fulfilling his threats against Beijing within 24 hours.
ADDITIONAL TARIFF ON CHINA RAISED TO 155%
Threatening China again, which he decided to impose a 100% additional tariff on, Trump stated, "If China threatens us with rare earth elements, they will have to pay a 150% tariff. If they do not reach an agreement with us, China will pay a heavy price." Today, he raised the additional tariff on Beijing to 155%. Trump said, "As of November 1, the tariffs imposed on China will be approximately 155%. I don't think this is sustainable for China."
"I WILL GO TO SOUTH KOREA AND MEET WITH XI IN TWO WEEKS"
During a luncheon with Republican Congress members at the White House, Trump commented on the possibility of meeting with Chinese President Xi, saying, "I will go to South Korea in two weeks and meet with President Xi. We will meet in South Korea. We will discuss many issues. I believe we will achieve good results in these negotiations." However, the continuation of Trump's remarks raised questions.
"WE WILL MAKE A FAIR DEAL WITH CHINA"
In other comments regarding China, the U.S. President hinted that he might not meet with Xi, stating, "We will make a fair deal with China. I think it will be a very successful meeting (with Xi). Many people are waiting for this, but maybe it won't happen. Maybe it won't happen." Trump indicated that he has a good relationship with Chinese President Xi, saying, "I hope I can make a good deal with him, but this deal must be fair."
TRUMP'S DECISION ON A 100% ADDITIONAL TARIFF ON CHINA
Recently, Trump announced that as of November 1, they would impose an additional 100% tariff on top of the current tariff paid by China and would implement export controls on all critical software.
The U.S. President stated that China would apply extensive export controls on almost all products they produce, even on some products that are not of their own production, sending an extremely 'hostile' letter indicating their extraordinarily aggressive stance on trade.
Trump noted that this affects all countries without exception and is a plan designed years in advance, stating, "This is something absolutely unheard of in international trade and a moral disgrace in relations with other countries."
HE SAID "WE ARE IN A TRADE WAR"
Following these statements, Trump made a new announcement, stating that they are in a trade war with China, saying, 'If we didn't have tariffs, we wouldn't have defense.' Trump emphasized that tariffs are an important tool for defense and national security, noting that previous administrations did not feel the need to use tariffs.
Trump mentioned that tariffs not only generate trillions of dollars in revenue but also ensure 'the preservation of peace,' explaining that tariffs are directly responsible for ending wars. He claimed that 'if it weren't for tariffs, wars would continue all over the world, and thanks to tariffs, there are no wars left except for Russia.'
