Trump Concedes: What's the Prospect of Sino-US Trade Negotiations with the Trade Deficit as a Key Factor?
< p > Trump has softened his stance and is waiting for China to come to the negotiating table! After two consecutive days of sending messages to China and receiving no response, Trump is clearly becoming restless. Trump has softened his stance, stating that he will not reach an agreement unless the issue of the trade deficit with China is "resolved." On the surface, Trump is still pressuring us, but we can sense a subtle change in the U.S. attitude.
After Trump imposed tariffs on us, we retaliated proportionally. At this point, Trump proposed to "resolve" the issue of the deficit. What does this mean? This indicates that a rational Trump understands that such a tit-for-tat approach on tariff issues is not a solution. So, what is the solution? It is clear that it must be through negotiation. Without negotiation, the problem cannot possibly be solved.
Therefore, Trump's intentions are very clear: that an agreement between China and the U.S. is certain, and the prerequisite for reaching this agreement is resolving the trade deficit between the two countries. The question now is how to resolve the trade deficit between China and the U.S.? Can the current trade war solve this problem? Clearly not. Undoubtedly, Trump is now waiting for us to initiate talks.
To be honest, Trump did not anticipate that we would retaliate proportionally against the U.S. Therefore, he is clearly losing his composure now. The stock market in the U.S. is crashing, anti-Trump protests are intensifying, and American citizens are worried about price hikes, hoarding goods en masse. The situation in the U.S. is something that Trump's team does not want to see. Compared to the U.S., it is evident that we are better prepared for the trade war. The U.S. is waiting for us to negotiate, but this will undoubtedly be a difficult negotiation because Trump has yet to show substantial sincerity beyond creating artificial leverage.
