"America First!" Trump said this time... was it misunderstood?
In recent days, US President Donald Trump has been in the spotlight again with his tough steps in foreign trade policy. The news that "exploded" the Internet - that Trump would announce a 90-day break on the customs duties he had introduced - did not correspond to the truth.
CNBC, citing the White House press service, reported: this news is baseless, that is, a lie!
Did Hassett speak? No, he is also surprised!
Earlier, it was reported that Kevin Hassett, the head of the White House National Economic Council, said that this 90-day period would apply to all countries except China. But officials denied this — Hassett did not say anything about it.
Trade war: US and China
Bloomberg reported that China's response to these tariffs was very quick — and this is evidence of Beijing's readiness for a "trade war." In response, the Chinese Foreign Ministry also issued a sharp statement:
"Washington's tariffs are perceived as insults and intimidation," Lin said.
Both sides "went on the offensive" with tariffs
Recall that on April 2, Donald Trump announced the introduction of tariffs on goods from 185 countries and regions around the world. In particular, the tariff rate on products from China was set at 34%.
In response to this step, China also announced that it would impose the same amount of tariffs on US goods from April 10 — 34 percent.
Trump did not remain silent on Twitter
Trump reacted sharply to such a “retaliatory strike” on Twitter:
“China’s imposition of tariffs on the US is a big mistake!”
These events once again showed that in geopolitical “games” it is very important to verify every piece of information through reliable sources. Fake news intensifies various conflicts, and the population finds it difficult to understand the truth. Presidents can also be victims of Internet “fakes”...
A question for Zamin.uz fans:
Do you think Trump’s tariff policy is beneficial or harmful for America?
