Singapore Lianhe Zaobao reported on May 8th: "US President Trump said that he would not lower the high tariff of 145% imposed on China for the purpose of restarting trade negotiations with China."
Comment: China has made it clear that if the US wants to negotiate, it must withdraw the unreasonable tariffs. Trump's tough stance of refusing to lower tariffs has made the prospect of Sino-US trade negotiations full of uncertainty and also damaged the credibility and image of the US in the international economic and trade field. This economic and trade negotiation was held at the request of the US side, but it is not obvious how much sincerity the US side has.
