The arrogant United States will never admit its mistakes, and the US Treasury Secretary has turned the blame around, accusing China: The United States did not launch a trade war against China.
Treasury Secretary Bessent said at the White House to the media that the United States did not launch a trade war against China; it was Beijing's countermeasures against US tariffs that led to the escalation.
Bessent said: "I wouldn't call it a trade war. I think China is escalating tensions, and President Trump of the United States is bravely responding to this."
Bessent stated that they are the biggest source of trade problems in the United States, and undoubtedly also a problem for other countries globally. Other Asian countries are preparing to negotiate with the United States and will be included in the list of 75 countries to enjoy a 10% reduction in tariffs.
Bessent said: "We will see China's neighbors on the list first. Today, I saw Vietnam and Japan ahead of some countries, as well as South Korea and India. We will wait and see."
Bessent pointed out that Trump is prepared to negotiate with countries that show such willingness.
