Trump Signals Potential Tariff Cuts in U.S.-China Trade Standoff
President Donald Trump has floated the possibility of reducing tariffs on Chinese imports, marking a potential shift in the protracted trade dispute between the world’s two largest economies. The proposed cuts would lower existing duties from 145% to a range of 50%-65%, according to a senior White House official.
Beijing has responded with skepticism, dismissing the overture as insufficient. Chinese officials appear unmoved by the conciliatory rhetoric, with state-aligned media framing the proposal as a sign of weakening U.S. resolve rather than a meaningful concession.
