Speaking in Washington, Trump assured that tariffs on Chinese goods would not be as high as 145%, as previously imposed during the peak of the trade tensions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trump mentioned that China would have no option but to make a deal with the United States. He also made it clear that he would not use a tough approach while negotiating with Chinese President Xi Jinping. Trump said, &#8220;We\u2019re going to be very nice, and they\u2019re going to be very nice, and we&#8217;ll see what happens.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He further added that although the tariffs will come down substantially from 145%, they would not return to zero. &#8220;It used to be zero, and we were just destroyed. Now, it won\u2019t be zero, but it will be much lower,&#8221; Trump explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trump had imposed 10% tariffs initially on nearly all imports but increased it to 145% when China retaliated. Now, with this more moderate tone, markets are hoping for potential improvement in US-China trade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trump also emphasized that he has a good personal relationship with President Xi and was optimistic that a deal would be made. &#8220;If we don&#8217;t make a deal, we&#8217;ll set the deal. We&#8217;ll just set the number,&#8221; Trump stated, emphasizing that he believes that China would like to be included in a US-led trade situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In contrast, China has indicated that it desires some measures to be taken by the US federal government prior to resumed negotiations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you have a news tip for Lakshmishree reporters?
