Former U.S. President Donald Trump announced he is contemplating a significant increase in tariffs on Chinese imports, escalating tensions in the already strained U.S.-China trade relationship. He emphasized that there is currently no reason to hold a meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping, citing ongoing trade imbalances and policy disagreements. Trump’s remarks reflect his continued hardline approach toward China, focusing on protecting American economic interests. Analysts warn that a major tariff hike could disrupt global supply chains, impact international trade, and heighten economic uncertainty amid existing geopolitical and financial challenges between the two nations.
