Trump expects China to open its markets to USA goods
Trump signals confidence on China trade opening amid tensions, tariffs threats, and complex US relations across Asia and Middle East
US – (Special Correspondent / Web Desk) – Former US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that he believes China is capable of opening its markets to American products, once again highlighting what he described as a positive relationship with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
Responding to a question about access for US goods, Trump expressed confidence, saying he expects it to happen, though he did not provide further details or a timeline.
Washington and Beijing have had tense ties for years over issues such as trade tariffs, intellectual property, human rights, the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic, cyber security and policies towards Taiwan, Hong Kong and Russia’s war in Ukraine.
A day earlier, Trump threatened to slap a 25% tariff on countries that trade with Iran, risking reopening old wounds with Beijing, Tehran’s biggest trading partner.
China condemned Trump’s threat, and Trump did not provide details on his plan to impose tariffs on countries conducting trade with Iran, which is currently seeing some of its biggest anti-government demonstrations in years.
