U.S. President Trump's words and deeds in the US -China trade war have been soft and hard in the past few days, and even the number of days has changed.Agreement can occur or cancel tariffs on China.However, whether China is willing to talk and make a substantial concession seriously in the face of such changes in this change, it has become a question.
A few days before arriving at the G7 summit at the France, Trump had furiously tweeting, saying that he would raise tariffs on Chinese goods to retaliate against China ’s previous tariffs on American goods.On the eve of arriving in France, he returned to his previous threat again, that is, he had the right to announce an emergency statement, ordered American companies to leave China, and also declared that Chinese President ... was an enemy.
On the morning of the 25th, Trump hesitated on the issue of the trade war. Under the reporter's inquiry, he said that he had re -considered the decision to re -upgrade the US -China trade war.I feel regrettable to get rid of the dilemma.
However, five hours later, the White House spokesman Ge Ruishan explained that Trump said that he regretted the deterioration of the US -China trade war, meaning that Trump regretted not being able to raise the tariffs of Chinese goods higher.Ge Ruishan said: The president's answer was seriously misunderstood.
Then, the White House chief economic adviser, Kudelo and Treasury Minister Mnuchin, insisted that there should be no doubts about Trump's determination.Mnuchin said, as I said, the only thing he had to consider again may be that he should raise tariffs higher. The president firmly believes that we should have a free, fair and mutual trade.
Kudelo said that Trump will persist in the end, and there is no plan to change the status quo yet.However, both US officials said that Trump did not intend to use emergency power to force American companies to evacuate China.
On the 26th, Trump changed his mouth again.He said that Chinese officials took the initiative to make two calls to the United States on the evening of the 25th, proposed to return to the negotiating table, and also said that the United States and China will soon take serious consultations.The reporter asked if he considered delaying or canceling tariffs on China, and Trump said that everything could happen.
Faced with such anti -repeated Trump, China seems to have decided not to dance with it recently.Trump said that the United States received a call from Chinese officials, and the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Geng Shuang said directly that he did not know that the Chinese side called the United States.
China understands that the pressure seems to be on Trump.At the G7 summit, even Ying Xiangsheng expressed his hope to trade peace in the face of Trump. The global economy has faced downward pressure due to the trade war.It directly affects Trump, which will strive for re -election next year.
Even if China now negotiates with the United States, it may also take a policy while talking about the front of the US election, and then decide the next step to see the changes in the US political situation.The United States also recognizes this.
