Trump talks tough on China, but early focus elsewhere
- More than 100 days into President Trump's term, observers note he has imposed heavy tariffs on China but focused early attention elsewhere, including Ukraine.
- Trump’s inner circle long viewed China as the chief rival, yet little clear strategy has emerged, while some suggest resolving the Ukraine conflict would free resources to counter Beijing, especially concerning Taiwan.
- The United States and China scheduled their first formal trade talks in Switzerland over a month after Trump introduced tariffs reaching 145 percent, to which China responded with 125 duties, amid complex diplomacy and supply chain tensions.
- Senator and interim National Security Advisor Marco Rubio called China "our number-one geopolitical foe" and emphasized that a war in Ukraine is less important than long-term challenges posed by China.
- Experts highlight the tariff war’s quick escalation has been hard to unwind, China plays a longer geopolitical game bolstered by alliances in Asia, and neither Trump nor Xi Jinping has an easy way out of the trade impasse.
