READY FOR A DEAL? China Seeks ‘CALM END’ to Potential Trade War as Asian Markets Sink

posted by Hannity Staff - 8.26.19

It looks like the trade war between the U.S. and China may finally be winding down as Asian markets tumbled to an 11-year low today as a result of President Trump’s latest tariffs on $550 billion in Chinese goods. Now, China has signaled they are ready to talk.

According to the Wall Street Journal, “Trump said Monday that officials from China called U.S. officials and expressed interest to ‘get back to the table.’ He called the discussions a “very positive development.”

“They want to make a deal. That’s a great thing,” said the President.

“News of the possible opening in negotiations came shortly after President Trump threatened to declare a national emergency that would result in American businesses freezing their relationships with China. Trump’s tariff barrage on Friday was a response to China imposing its own retaliatory tariffs on $75 billion in U.S. goods,” reports Fox News.

“China is willing to resolve its trade dispute with the United States through calm negotiations and resolutely opposes the escalation of the conflict,” said Chinese Vice Premier Liu He, China’s top trade negotiator.

U.S. officials have indicated they are ready to come to the table as well. On Sunday, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin told reporters that if “China would agree to a fair and balanced relationship, we would sign that deal in a second,” reports Fox News.

U.S. markets opened strong Monday morning in response to the news.

AMERICA FIRST: The President Says Country’s with Unfair Trade Deals Will be ‘TARIFFED’

posted by Hannity Staff - 9.17.18

President Trump doubled-down on his administration’s aggressive international trade policies Monday; saying nations with unfair trade deals will be “tariffed” in the coming weeks.

The Commander-in-Chief praised the international tax on social media just days after threatening China with a new round of tariffs, adding “Tariffs have put the U.S. in a very strong bargaining position, with Billions of Dollars, and Jobs, flowing into our Country – and yet cost increases have thus far been almost unnoticeable. If countries will not make fair deals with us, they will be ‘Tariffed!’”

The President’s comments come after he threatened China and other countries with upwards of $250 billion tariffs on foreign-produced goods, including aluminum, steel, and other raw materials.

AMERICA FIRST: Trump SLAMS China with $60 Billion in Trade Tariffs

posted by Hannity Staff - 3.22.18

The Trump administration announced crippling new trade tariffs against China this week, targeting one of America’s major trading partners with over $60 billion on foreign-produced goods.

According to CNBC, President Trump signed the executive order in the White House Thursday afternoon, saying the new tariffs were “the first of many” as America struggles to shrink its massive trade deficit.

US Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer is set to publish a highly-anticipated report in two weeks; detailing over 1,300 product lines impacted by the new import tax.

“The challenge for every president is how to do it in a way that doesn’t punish Americans for China’s misbehavior,” said Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee. “So, you’ve really got to narrow these and target these.”

The new tariff’s come as the Trump administration announced a massive tariff on steel and aluminum; charging foreign-producers a 25% import fee for access to American markets.
