Trump on China trade switch-up: They ‘would have broken apart’
- US President Donald Trump imposed tariffs on Chinese goods during his second term, with levies expected to hold at 30% through late 2025.
- This tariff policy arises amid ongoing US-China trade tensions, with low expectations for rapid removal despite active negotiations and a recent 90-day truce.
- Bloomberg Economics projects that these tariffs will eliminate about 70% of Chinese exports to the US, while surveys show mixed forecasts on future tariff levels.
- A Bloomberg survey of 22 respondents on May 14 found most expect tariffs to remain near 30%, with some predicting decreases to 20% if a final trade deal is reached before 2026.
- The persistence of tariffs poses risks to China's economy and global markets, with experts warning that trade agreements are uncertain and Chinese policy easing may be limited.
