Donald Trump predicted a commercial agreement with the rest of the world on Wednesday, April 9, including China, after announcing a “rest” in his customs duties, except Beijing.
“There will be an agreement with China, there will be an agreement with all (countries),” said the US president before the press, while his customs duties have caused panic in world financial centers since last week.
“China wants to conclude an agreement” but “it does not know how to go very well,” he added, a few hours after announcing a new prohibitive increase, 125%, US customs tasks in Chinese products, while suspending increases for other countries for 90 days, reduced to 10%.
The Chinese, “very proud people”
Beijing was punished for responding to the duties of US customs despite Washington’s warnings, said Republican billionaire.
When asked about the causes of his change, Donald Trump acknowledged that he was monitoring the fall in the United States Bill of Treasury before deciding to suspend his commercial war.
“I was monitoring the bond market. It is a very complicated market,” he said, adding that he had noticed Tuesday night that his customs surcharges, “they scared a bit.” “You have to be flexible,” he said.
When asked about the consequences of customs tasks for American companies, Donald Trump has promised to analyze specific cases.
“Some (companies) have barely been affected,” he admitted. “Some, by their nature, are a bit more hard. We will investigate it.”
