Latest news from the United States, U.S. President Trump once again urgently posted on social media. Please take a look at the following image. [Image] In this post, he emphasized the following two key points: 1. The acting Prime Minister of South Korea has already spoken with Trump and expressed a submissive attitude towards the U.S., stating that South Korea is willing to compromise with the U.S. in terms of energy and military expenses. Moreover, the South Korean delegation has already headed to the U.S. 2. Trump said he is still waiting for China's call, and he firmly believes that China will definitely contact him. [Image] Since initiating the tariff war a few days ago, Trump has been convinced that China would call him. However, just hours ago, Chinese authorities had already made their stance clear, presenting him with the four words "we will see it through to the end." Currently, Fox News has reported the news: the U.S. will impose a 104% tariff on China. How did this 104% come about? Some netizens may be a bit confused. To summarize: before the reciprocal tariffs were imposed, Trump had already added tariffs twice, amounting to 20%. A few days ago, an additional 34% was added for the reciprocal tariffs, totaling 54%. On April 7 local time, Trump once again threatened China: if China does not retract its countermeasures, another 50% tariff will be added by April 9. In fact, it is not yet April 9 local time, but given that there are no signs of China retracting its countermeasures, US media believe this 104% will be the final result.

On the same day when Trump claimed he was waiting for China's call, official sources from the World Trade Organization (WTO) announced that China has taken this trade dispute to the WTO. So far, more than 160 member states of the trade organization have received China's documents, and consultations are being held under the WTO mechanism with the U.S. To put it bluntly, China is not afraid of escalating the situation now. We hope these over 160 member states can serve as witnesses to see which side is right. You must have noticed that ever since proposing reciprocal tariffs, Trump has been afraid to interact with any international organizations or high-level officials. UN Secretary-General Guterres has already warned Trump multiple times; this shows that justice is on our side. As for countries like South Korea, which have submitted to the U.S., they are not negotiating under the WTO mechanism because they fail to see two stark realities: 1. They fail to realize that compromising with the U.S. will not solve the problem: the EU serves as a perfect example. The EU has proposed reducing tariffs on the U.S. to zero, but Trump then stated: "This is not enough. The EU is still taking advantage of us; they must purchase $350 billion worth of American energy." Vietnam also proposed zero tariffs on the U.S., but Trump deemed this insufficient as well. Ultimately, once you start compromising, it becomes a bottomless pit. [Image] 2. They fail to see that the U.S. itself is on the verge of collapse. Former U.S. Treasury Secretary Lawrence said in an interview on April 8: "The U.S. economy is heading toward recession, and approximately 2 million Americans will lose their jobs due to Trump's policies." Meanwhile, internal conflicts have already emerged within Trump's team, with Musk clearly opposing Trump. As for the volatile stock market, it has exposed the chaos in the capital market. U.S. Commerce Secretary Raimondo stated: "Next, a million workers in the U.S. will be tightening screws," is this what Trump wants to achieve with his "America First" policy? Many American citizens do not accept this, and protests against Trump continue to rise. In summary, this is indeed a war without smoke, but as the Chinese authorities said, we will see it through to the end. Because it concerns justice and international law.
