CHINA BLINKS, Wants Tariff Talks….This Weekend

The feral media’s deranged obsession with framing fair trade and reciprocal tariffs to benefit Americans as Armageddon speaks more to their hatred of America than any accurate account of what is actually happening. They hate America which is why they hate Trump.

Tariff revenue just smashed records. $15.9 Billion collected so far this month alone. The United States has reportedly generated $21 billion in tariff revenue since Trump assumed office, per CBP report.

Based on full consideration of global expectations, China’s interests, and the appeals of the U.S. business community and consumers, #China has decided to agree to engage with the #US side.

Bessent: “The world has been coming to the U.S. and China has been the missing piece. I was going to be in Switzerland to negotiate with the Swiss…”

“Turns out the Chinese team is traveling through Europe. And they will be in Switzerland, also.”

“So, we will meet on Saturday and Sunday…”

Thanks to @POTUS, the world has been coming to the US, and China has been the missing piece—we will meet on Saturday and Sunday to discuss our shared interests.

The current tariffs and trade barriers are unsustainable, but we don’t want to decouple.

Ask a liberal for their trade strategy and they’ll say a lot of words that essentially translate into: “Let China keep eating our lunch.”

The reality is, America is the BIG player when it comes to trade. We finally have a President who’s acting like it.

US, China to hold first major trade talks in Switzerland

US officials will meet with Chinese counterparts this weekend
Will be the first official, significant tariff talks since levies were enacted
China: Country won’t ‘sacrifice its principles or global equity’ for deal

(NewsNation) — Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Jamieson Greer, President Donald Trump’s top trade negotiator, will meet with Chinese officials this weekend in Geneva.

The meeting, announced Tuesday by the White House, is a potential first step toward ending the tariff tit-for-tat between the two economic powerhouses.

Trump’s sweeping tariffs have targeted China and its reciprocal actions against the United States. He blocked the country from a 90-day tariff pause announced in April and removed China’s de minimis tariff exemption on low-value packages.

Tariffs against China are currently 145%, while China’s on the U.S. total 125%.

Though Trump previously claimed U.S.-China negotiations were underway — and said he’d spoken with President Xi Jinping — officials in Beijing have denied the talks altogether.

As recently as Tuesday, Bessent told lawmakers the two countries had not yet held any meetings.

The Chinese Commerce Ministry on Tuesday confirmed the upcoming meeting between its vice premier and Bessent in Switzerland, but clarified that China would not “sacrifice its principles or global equity or justice in seeking any agreement.”
