China Issues Warning To Trump
Beijing Pushes Back After U.S.-China Deal Slashes Tariffs by Over 100 Points
Beijing, China — Just 24 hours after President Trump’s trade team delivered a historic tariff rollback deal with China, Chinese President Xi Jinping lashed out at what he called America’s “bullying” trade tactics—signaling growing discomfort with the Trump administration’s hardball negotiating style.
“There are no winners in trade wars,” Xi warned during a global summit in Beijing. “Bullying or hegemonism only leads to self-isolation,” he said, in remarks published by China’s state-run media outlet Xinhua.
But for millions of American workers, farmers, and retirees, the message was clear: President Trump’s strong leadership is putting American jobs and industries first—and it’s working.
U.S. Treasury: Tariffs Were Tough, But Effective
Speaking from Washington, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the unprecedented tariff pressure pushed China to the negotiating table. “The tariffs imposed by President Trump and reciprocated by China were some of the toughest in modern history—borderline embargoes,” Bessent said. “But the goal was always fair, balanced trade.”
Thanks to the new agreement, tariffs on Chinese goods entering the U.S. will drop from 145% to 30%. On the flip side, Beijing will reduce its tax on American imports from 125% to just 10%—a win for American manufacturers, farmers, and small businesses.
President Trump Delivers Results While China Scrambles for Allies
As Trump focuses on bringing jobs back home and protecting American industry, President Xi is turning to Latin America to build new alliances. Speaking to leaders from the region, Xi touted a new five-point plan to deepen China’s ties and announced that trade between China and Latin American nations has exploded—up 40 times since 2000.
China has quietly signed free trade agreements with several left-leaning governments in the region, including Chile, Peru, Costa Rica, Ecuador, and Nicaragua. Xi called for “true multilateralism” and a “multipolar world,” signaling his desire to challenge U.S. leadership on the global stage.
But Back Home, Americans Know Who’s Fighting for Them
While President Xi promotes global cooperation, President Trump is focused on Main Street—not Beijing. His America First trade policy is reversing decades of globalist giveaways that shipped jobs overseas and hurt American families.
Conservative economists and business leaders say the recent tariff rollback is just the latest sign that Trump’s firm stance is paying off—bringing relief to seniors on fixed incomes, restoring confidence to job creators, and protecting the American middle class from unfair foreign competition.
