Trump Signals Softer Stance on China, Boosting Market Optimism

President Trump’s softened tone toward China signals a possible easing of trade tensions after months of tariff escalation. He acknowledged that current tariffs of up to 145% were “very high” and expressed openness to negotiation, prompting market rebounds and renewed investor optimism. Beijing has responded positively, signaling willingness for dialogue, while both sides explore potential grounds for compromise. Although internal divisions remain within Trump’s administration, this shift marks a strategic move to stabilize markets and rebuild economic cooperation between the U.S. and China.
