If you’re looking for insights into what Trump’s second term could mean for Washington, business, and the world, look no further. The White House Watch newsletter offers a comprehensive guide to the latest developments and trends shaping the political landscape.

In a recent post on his Truth Social platform, Donald Trump expressed support for an 80 per cent tariff on Chinese imports, setting the stage for upcoming talks between Washington and Beijing. The post, which also called for China to open up its market to the USA, comes amidst an escalating trade war between the two economic giants.

Since April, when Trump imposed steep tariffs on major trading partners, the global economy has been on edge. While many US allies have opted for negotiations, China has retaliated with levies on US goods, prompting Trump to raise tariffs on Chinese imports to 145 per cent.

However, in a surprising turn of events, Trump hinted at a willingness to lower tariffs on Chinese goods following a meeting between US and Chinese officials in Geneva. Reports suggested that the Trump administration was considering reducing tariffs to below 60 per cent, signaling a potential thaw in trade tensions.

Despite Trump’s bold statements on social media, insiders suggest that his remarks may be more of a negotiating tactic than a concrete policy proposal. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, who is leading the US delegation in talks with Chinese officials, emphasized the need to de-escalate the trade war and find a sustainable solution.

In the midst of trade negotiations, the US recently struck a limited trade deal with the UK, allowing for the export of 100,000 cars free from additional tariffs. While Trump touted the deal as a success, foreign officials have expressed concerns about the slow progress in talks with the US.

Meanwhile, China’s exports have surged in April, bolstering Beijing’s position ahead of negotiations. Chinese companies have successfully redirected trade flows to other regions, mitigating the impact of tariffs and fueling export growth.

As the trade war between the US and China continues to unfold, the White House Watch newsletter provides valuable insights and analysis on the implications for businesses, policymakers, and the global economy. Sign up now to stay informed and gain a deeper understanding of the evolving dynamics in international trade.
