Trump talked about the U.S. tariffs on China again today.
At a press conference today (on Beijing time May 6), Trump said, "They all want to reach an agreement... China is very eager to reach an agreement."
In addition, Trump also mentioned Canadian Prime Minister Carney's visit. Trump pointed out, "I'm not sure what he wants to see me for, but I guess he wants to make a deal."
[Smart Comment]: Trump's remarks at the press conference once again reflect his "self-talk" style. He repeatedly emphasized "reaching an agreement" and "making a deal," but this one-sided statement has not received a response from the other side. When one party keeps talking about deals and the other remains silent, it usually means that no one is knocking on your door or calling you. This one-sided fantasy cannot only fail to promote the resolution of problems but may also exacerbate misunderstandings and conflicts between both sides. Trump seems always immersed in his own "deal world," ignoring the complexity and seriousness of international relations. In the context of the tariff war, both China and the United States face many challenges. However, this might be a very critical stage. Export enterprises in China are encountering numerous difficulties, and the "boomerang effect" of U.S. tariffs on China may become more significant within the next three weeks.
