The US plans to lower tariffs on Chinese products 🚨
The Wall Street Journal confirms earlier reports and announcements by Trump and Bessent about the de-escalation of the trade conflict. The United States would lower tariffs to a target level of 50-65%. The WSJ also specifically states that products less important from a national security perspective would be subject to a tariff rate of 35%, while those crucial to the United States would be subject to a tariff rate of 100%. Although these levels are still very high, this is a significant de-escalation compared to the current rate of 145%.
Donald Trump has previously indicated that tariffs will be lowered, but will remain above 0%. In turn, Bessent spoke of too much of a burden for American companies. At the same time, Donald Trump has indicated in recent hours that he does not intend to dismiss Jerome Powell from his position as head of the Fed, which reduces concerns about the stability of the dollar on the market. Of course, the president's advisors have probably indicated that such a situation could practically not occur. At the same time, CNBC reports that the changes in tariffs are not to be unilateral, which most likely means that China will need to respond. Bessent is expected to speak in the coming minutes, probably on the subject of tariffs.
