In a surprising move, President Trump suggested reducing tariffs on Chinese imports from the current rate of 145% to 80% as the U.S. prepares for crucial trade discussions with China. This announcement comes as Trump expresses his openness to lowering tariffs, despite some concerns among analysts that an 80% levy is still excessively high. Several reports indicate that Trump is considering multiple trade deals that could influence these tariff changes. As the weekend talks approach, there is speculation about potential breakthroughs in negotiations, although the President has also stated that he will not drop tariffs merely to encourage dialogue.
