Liberal media is saying Trump is standing down, but here are the facts.
Washington, D.C. — President Donald Trump revealed Tuesday that the sky-high 145% tariff on Chinese imports may soon be significantly lowered, giving a much-needed boost to American consumers, farmers, and manufacturers. The potential cut marks a major turning point in U.S.-China trade negotiations under the America First economic agenda.
“One hundred forty-five percent is very high—it won’t stay that high,” President Trump told reporters from the Oval Office. “But it won’t be zero either.”
🇺🇸 Trump’s Tariff Strategy: A Win for American Workers
President Trump emphasized that any adjustments will continue to prioritize U.S. jobs, national manufacturing, and economic sovereignty.
While the tariff won’t drop to zero, Trump said it will likely be lowered to a more reasonable rate—without surrendering American leverage.
This is a clear sign that Trump’s tough-on-China policy is producing real results, forcing foreign powers to negotiate fairly instead of taking advantage of decades of weak leadership.
💼 White House: China Must Negotiate on Fair Terms
White House spokesman Kush Desai confirmed to FOX Business that the United States will not be making any unilateral concessions.
“President Trump has been crystal clear: China must make a deal with the United States. All decisions on tariffs will come directly from the President—not bureaucrats or foreign influence.”
📉 145% Tariff Was a Response to China’s Retaliation
Initially set at 34%, the tariff on Chinese goods was raised to 145% after Beijing retaliated against U.S. trade enforcement. The Trump administration made it clear: America won’t be bullied into bad deals.
Even as financial markets reacted to trade war fears, Trump stood firm, showing real leadership in uncertain times.
🌎 Trade Talks Are Moving Forward
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, speaking at a private investor summit, noted the standoff with China was not sustainable long-term. But behind the scenes, the Trump team is making headway.
According to Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, the administration has received 18 formal proposals from countries seeking new trade agreements.
“We’re doing very well in terms of reaching a possible deal,” Leavitt said. “There is significant progress—and countries are eager to work with President Trump’s team.”
🔍 What This Means for Retirees, Farmers, and Small Business Owners
Lower tariffs could lead to cheaper consumer goods, reduced inflation, and greater economic stability—benefits that retirees on fixed incomes and family-owned businesses will feel directly.
Meanwhile, rebuilding American industry means more jobs, stronger communities, and less dependence on hostile foreign regimes like the Chinese Communist Party.
✅ Bottom Line: Trump’s America First Trade Policy Is Working
President Trump continues to prove that tough leadership and smart negotiation are the key to securing America’s future.
His strategy is delivering real results—even as the media and political elites try to downplay the success.
