America Again Signals: 100% Tariffs on China Don't Necessarily Have to Be Implemented
After Trump recently threatened to impose 100% tariffs on China, Vice President Vance, Trade Representative Jamison Grier, and others urgently stepped in to calm the situation. Now it's the turn of Treasury Secretary Scott Bensons.
On the 13th, Bensons said in an interview that a working-level meeting between China and the U.S. will be held this week, and communication channels have reopened. He is optimistic about the easing of the situation and stated that the 100% tariff on China may not be implemented.
It is not difficult to see that since Trump's previous outburst, his officials have not followed him into chaos, but instead frequently spoke out to ease the tension.
The contrast shown by the White House proves that Trump's so-called "imposing 100% tariffs on China" was an emotional reaction or a bluff, but Trump and his team underestimated the threat effect of the tariff card on China and China's firm stance.
Therefore, after seeing China did not respond and instead prepared to implement countermeasures, the U.S. immediately made a complete 180-degree turn. After all, the tariff war in the first half of this year has proven that if China and the U.S. impose equal tariffs, the U.S. would be the one who cannot withstand it first.
