The U.S. attitude has softened again! On October 22, according to a report by the Russian Sputnik news agency, U.S. President Trump stated that he does not plan to impose tariffs on China for purchasing Russian oil. When asked if he planned to impose tariffs on China, given that Russia is China's largest oil supplier, Trump replied: "I want to remain friendly with China."
Evidently, from threatening to impose 500% tariffs on us, to now saying he wants to remain friendly with China, it is clear that the U.S. attitude has clearly softened. Why has the U.S. attitude softened? The reason is only one: the U.S. hopes to negotiate with us. After the recent escalation of the Sino-U.S. trade war, the U.S. also hopes that both sides can return to the track of continued negotiations. In fact, the U.S. has realized that this kind of extortion has no effect on us, and it will only make the Sino-U.S. negotiation process more difficult.
Moreover, Trump himself is facing great pressure. In September, we continued to buy no soybeans at all, whether it was Boeing aircraft, chips that the U.S. thought could be sold, or U.S. energy, the U.S. was waiting for our big orders. If the U.S. cannot negotiate an agreement with us, we can also turn away their products that they want to sell to us. Obviously, Trump is not a very patient person, and he wants the Sino-U.S. negotiations to continue, which is what he most urgently hopes to see.
