Trump and Vance are playing a duet. On October 12, U.S. Vice President Vance told Fox News: "The Sino-U.S. trade war is a delicate game, which largely depends on how China responds. If China is willing to be rational, the United States will also be. If they respond in an aggressive way, President Trump has more leverage than China."
Subsequently, Trump posted on his Truth Social: "Don't worry about China, everything will be fine! The United States wants to help China, not hurt it!!!"
This is a typical case of Vance and Trump playing a duet, with Vance again boasting that the U.S. has more leverage. However, some American experts said that China has its own trump cards in areas such as rare earths, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and chemicals. If they all act at the same time, it would paralyze the U.S. economy.
Trump's attempt to soften the Sino-U.S. dispute is mainly to calm the U.S. stock market. Because after Trump announced a 100% tariff on China, the three major U.S. stock indices fell sharply, with a loss of $5 trillion in market value. Trump's current statement is expected to make the U.S. stock market rise again on Monday.
