8 d. ago Trump’s tariff tirade is nothing more than hurtful political theatre

Markets that seemed initially unconcerned about US-China trade tensions reacted sharply last Friday to US President Donald Trump’s decision to impose an extra 100 per cent tariffs on Chinese imports. Wall Street, driven by AI-focused tech companies, lost around US$2 trillion in value.

Mixed messaging from Trump to try to keep China off balance isn’t helping to ease...

The outlook for US-China relations appeared to hit another snag on Sunday when the US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said that China had rebuffed an attempt to communicate, even as US President Donald Trump appeared to downplay the ongoing trade differences. This follows Trump’s threat on Friday to impose an extra 100 per cent tariff on all Chinese goods starting November 1 and to curb the export of “any and all critical software”, a doubling down on his China trade policy a day after...
