Trump agrees to delay increase in tariffs on China ahead of nation’s 70th anniversary

Make sure to let us know what you think... we now have comments turned ON below the article!

President Donald Trump has canceled a planned hike in tariffs on China — for now.

The president announced Wednesday that he would be delaying the tariffs increase by two weeks as a “gesture of good will” in honor of the People’s Republic’s 70th anniversary this October.

Tariffs were set to rise by another 5% on Oct. 1, according to The Washington Examiner. But in a tweet Wednesday, Trump said that date had been pushed back to Oct. 15.

Trump’s trade war

Talks amid an ongoing trade war between the U.S. and China had halted over the summer — but that didn’t stop the two countries from digging their heels in with the announcement of new, competing tariffs.

China announced in August that it would place additional tariffs of 5% and 10% on roughly $75 billion worth of U.S. goods imported into the nation. The regime also announced a 25% tariff on U.S.-manufactured automobiles, as well as a 5% tariff on U.S.-produced auto parts.

Trump’s tariff hike came in response to this move by Beijing. Under his new plan, tariffs that were already set at 25% on roughly $250 billion of Chinese goods would be increased to 30%.

Additionally, tariffs on another $300 billion worth of Chinese goods would be raised from 15% to 20%.

On top of those tariff hikes, the president also strongly urged U.S. companies to refrain from doing business with China if at all possible as part of an effort to reduce the substantial trade deficit in favor of China and bring about trade parity between the two nations.

Extending an olive branch

But despite the tariff hikes, it looks like things could be looking up for U.S.–China relations. It was less than a month ago that Trump first announced the rise in tariffs, and the move soon after to push them back has some wondering if the increase will be canned altogether.

Additionally, Trump’s “gesture of good will” came hours after a similar move by Beijing, which had waived some of the new tariffs it had imposed on American goods like anti-cancer drugs and livestock feed, according to the BBC.

Hopefully, those acts of kindness from both sides will prove beneficial when trade negotiations resume in Washington later this month.

  7. I think everything typed made a lot of sense. But, what about this? suppose you composed a catchier title? I ain’t suggesting your information is not solid, but what if you added a title that grabbed a person’s attention? I mean BLOG_TITLE is kinda vanilla. You should look at Yahoo’s front page and see how they create article headlines to grab people to open the links. You might add a related video or a pic or two to grab readers interested about what you’ve written. In my opinion, it would bring your posts a little bit more interesting.|
