A day behind a day between the US and China, Donald Trump made two major announcements on the tariff on Wednesday, which caused a breath to all other countries but doubled his difficult stance on Beijing.
After the US increased the tariff on China by 104%, Beijing retaliated, announcing that it would put a levy of 84% on US imports – marking a significant growth of tariff trade war between countries – above 34% – above 34%.
The US Panterstrak was sharp, and cruel.
Taking his social media platform Truthsachal, the US President announced that he was further effective – 125% – 125% – immediately effective tariffs on China.
Trump wrote, “At some point, hoping that in the near future, China will realize that the days of ripping USA and other countries are no longer durable or acceptable.”
For other countries, however, the billionaire also appeared to apply an annual on tariff wounds, with a 90-day stagnation on tariffs at the base line, a universal rate of 10%.
Saying that more than 75 countries had tried to interact with the US and did not vengean the tariff in “any way, size or form”, Trump said he authorized the 90-day break, immediately effective. Lack of vengeance by countries, he insisted, the result of his “strong suggestions”.
“On the contrary, and based on the fact that more than 75 countries have called the United States representatives, including Commerce, Treasury and USTR (United States Trade Representatives), to interact for the solution of subjects that are discussing business, business obstacles, tariffs, currency manipulation, and non -mounted tariffs relative to the resolution of the subjects that are discussing a 90 -day stop, which are discussing the relatives of business, business obstacles, tariffs, currency manipulation, and non -mounted tariffs, and a 90 During the time a fairly less mutual tariff, 10%, is also effective by the US President.

India influence
India has taken a cautious approach to Trump’s tariff, despite the announcement of 26% additional levy last week, and emphasized that a bilateral trade deal with the US is in tasks.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Randhir Jaiswal said on Wednesday, “On the third, we had a detailed press release issued by the Ministry of Commerce, in which India’s situation became clear. We are studying the implications of the tariffs announced.”
“Mutually conclusion of mutually beneficial multi-regional bilateral trade agreement between India and American trade teams is undergoing discussion and discussion. India gives importance to its widespread global strategic partnership with America and is committed to working together … Both teams are in discussion and hope that we can close it (compromise),” said.
The Indian market, which has drowned after the declaration of tariffs, is likely to breathe and break will also suggest New Delhi to work on the deal with the US as well as the best way to deal with the levy and when they are re -implemented.
Flip-flop?
Although this break may be good for most people in the world, except China, it points to the policy uncertainty within the Trump administration when it talks about tariffs. Despite standing on the decision despite the US markets, looking at the record deficit and insisted that there will be short -term pain after long -term benefits, the stagnation indicates a sudden change.
There is speculation about whether the tariff was done as a permanent measure or there was a tool to take countries to the conversation table. When asked by Trump’s colleagues about this, some said to the former that others later pointed out. And when the question was directed to the US President himself, the answer was definitely introduced, adding uncertainty. Trump said, “Permanent tariffs can be – and can also have conversations because there are things that we need beyond the tariff,” Trump said.
However, on Wednesday, US Treasury Secretary Scott Besant said that Donald Trump’s “strategy” had gone according to the plan.
“This was his strategy, and you could also say that he placed China in a bad position,” Besant was said by news agency AFP.
