US President Donald Trump pointed out a possible decline in his trade war with China, saying that the high tariffs on Chinese goods “will decrease significantly, but will not reach zero.”
Trump’s statements, which he made in a White House news event, appear to be a decline in his position after weeks of militant situations and the response, which led to the exception of customs duties on China by 145%.
“145% is very high, and it will not be so high,” Trump said. It will not be close to this height. We will treat China gently, and the ratio will decrease significantly. But it will not reach zero. ”
Trump made these comments in response to a question about the statements of the Treasury Secretary, Scott Besent, earlier in which he said that the high tariffs between the United States and China had imposed a actual ban on trade between the two economies.
