Trump Tariffs: 'China Also Wants To Make A Deal'
Ahead of the market open, President Trump on Truth Social touted a "great call" with the acting president of South Korea on tariffs and other issues. In addition, Trump said that "China also wants to make a deal, badly, but they don't know how to get it started. We are waiting for their call."
Early Tuesday, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said on CNBC that China's escalation was a "big mistake." His comments come in response to China's early morning statement that it would "fight to the end" against Trump's tariffs and implied that more retaliatory tariffs could be coming.
On Monday, President Trump threatened an additional 50% tariff on China, posting on Truth Social.
"Therefore, if China does not withdraw its 34% increase above their already long-term trading abuses by tomorrow, April 8th, 2025, the United States will impose ADDITIONAL Tariffs on China of 50%, effective April 9th," he said.
Trump went on to say: "Additionally, all talks with China concerning their requested meetings with us will be terminated! Negotiations with other countries, which have also requested meetings, will begin taking place immediately."
