President Donald Trump has made a U-turn in the US-China trade war. He now proposes 80% tariffs on Chinese imports, down from the 145% duties imposed in April 2025.<\/p>\n

But why a sudden change? This soft stance on tariffs may be a result of pressure from financial markets and advisors like Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, who felt the higher rates were \u201cunsustainable,\u201d and aimed to stabilize economic ties as trade talks with Beijing loom.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The tariffs triggered intense market volatility, with China retaliating through 125% duties on US goods. This tit for tat actions caused uproar to global supply chains and impacting market prices. Can this be fixed? Yes, the reduced tariffs may signal a probable de-escalation, and hoping for smoother US-China relations.<\/p>\n

In a whirlwind of Truth Social posts<\/a>, President Trump hinted at an 80% tariff on China, leaving the decision to Scott Bessent. Days later, he softened, suggesting lower tariffs if talks go well.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This comes after dismissing tariff rollbacks on China\u2019s 145% duties. Trump also demanded China open its markets, claiming it\u2019s \u201cso good\u201d for them. Is this a strategic dance or a policy pivot? Saturday\u2019s talks may tell.<\/p>\n
