US President Donald Trump said on Thursday that the United States was going to conclude “a very good agreement with China” in matters of customs duties. He was speaking from the Oval Office, during an official meeting with the Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.
Questioned by a journalist on the risk of seeing certain traditional allies of the United States get closer to Beijing in reaction to American trade policy, Donald Trump responded with confidence: “I think we are going to do a very good agreement with China. »»
This declaration comes as trade tensions persist between Washington and Beijing. Under the chairmanship of Trump, the United States has strengthened its protectionist policy, imposing or threatening to impose new customs duties on Chinese imports, with the aim of rebalancing trade and protecting national industries.
-In parallel, China continues its international economic expansion strategy, in particular by consolidating its links with strategic partners in Europe, Africa and Asia. Beijing has also recently approached some traditionally allied countries of Washington, which fuels concerns about the diplomatic impact of trade war.
In this tense context, the promise of a “very good agreement” with China undoubtedly aims to reassure markets and allies, as new negotiations are approaching which could be decisive for the global economy.
