Schiff Dismisses US-China Trade Deal as ’BS Win’, Highlights Tariff Burden on Americans

Economist Peter Schiff has lambasted the recent US-China trade agreement as a hollow victory, claiming President TRUMP capitulated in negotiations. The deal temporarily reduces US tariffs on Chinese imports to 30% while maintaining China’s 10% levy on American goods—a framework Schiff derides as a return to pre-trade war conditions with added disadvantages for US consumers.

The WHITE House confirmed a 90-day suspension of certain duties following Geneva talks, with some tariffs rolling back by up to 115%. Schiff’s critique centers on the disproportionate burden shouldered by Americans, arguing the arrangement fails to address structural trade imbalances. Market observers note such geopolitical tensions often drive capital toward decentralized assets, though no specific cryptocurrencies were mentioned in this context.
