Chinese side responds to Trump's remarks on reducing tariffs on China: the US side should completely cancel all tariffs.

On April 24, Chinese Ministry of Commerce spokesperson He Yadong responded to Trump and US Treasury Secretary Bentsen's remarks about "reducing tariffs on China" by saying that "the one who tied the bell must be the one to untie it". The unilateral tariff measures were initiated by the US side. If the US side really wants to solve the problem, it should face the rational voices from the international community and domestic circles, completely cancel all unilateral tariff measures on China, and find a way to resolve differences through equal dialogue.

The US government is sued by 12 states for Trump, claiming that he has no right to impose additional tariffs arbitrarily.

On April 23, the US government was jointly sued by 12 states, arguing that the president's imposition of additional tariffs without the approval of Congress violates the constitutional authorization. The plaintiffs asked the court to rule that Trump's tariff policy is illegal and immediately prevent the government from continuing to impose additional tariffs.

This lawsuit was first initiated by Arizona State. The other states that joined in the joint lawsuit include: Oregon, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Maine, Minnesota, Nevada, New Mexico, New York, and Vermont.

Trump (President) on April 23:

The US President must have complete immunity. Otherwise, he/she will not be able to perform duties normally. Any mistake, even if it is well-intentioned, will almost certainly be prosecuted by the opposition party at the end of the term. Even "overstepping" incidents must be completely exempted; otherwise, it will take years to determine good or bad. There must be certainty. For example: you cannot stop effective crime prevention work by the police just because you want to guard against rare "rogue police officers". Sometimes you must accept "great but imperfect". All presidents must have complete and absolute presidential immunity. Otherwise, the authority and decisiveness of the US President will be deprived and disappear forever. I hope this will be an easy decision. God bless the Supreme Court!
