Trump Announces Potential US-China Tariff Talks Within 24 Hours

President Trump hints at imminent discussions between Washington and Beijing as a 10 percent tariff on Chinese imports approaches implementation.
U.S. President Donald Trump stated on Monday that last-minute talks between the United States and China regarding tariffs were expected to take place within the next 24 hours.

The announcement was made before a 10 percent duty on Chinese imports was set to go into effect.

Speaking to reporters at the White House, Trump indicated that discussions with Chinese officials were imminent, though he did not provide specific details on the agenda or format of the talks.

The tariff, which had been planned for several months, is part of the ongoing trade dispute between the two largest economies in the world.

The proposed 10 percent tariff is set to impact a wide range of goods imported from China, further escalating tensions that have been building since Trump first imposed tariffs on Chinese products in 2018. The dispute centers on issues such as intellectual property rights, trade imbalances, and market access.

Although the U.S. and China have engaged in multiple rounds of talks in recent years, a comprehensive trade agreement remains elusive.

The announcement of these potential talks comes as both sides have been exploring avenues to reach a deal, with trade negotiations continuing to shape global economic dynamics.

No further information was provided by Trump regarding the substance of the talks or what measures might be discussed to resolve the tariff issue, but the remarks suggest that the U.S. administration remains committed to addressing the trade relationship with China through diplomatic channels.
