Amid ongoing trade tensions with China, US President Donald Trump struck a notably conciliatory tone, suggesting a potential opening for renewed dialogue on trade. “I think China’s been very respectful of us,” Trump said, highlighting that Beijing continues to pay “tremendous amounts of money” in tariffs to the United States. He added that the tariff rate could rise to 155 percent from November 1 if both countries fail to reach a deal.
