'Relations are great': Trump announces trade deal with China

US President Donald Trump has announced the successful conclusion of a trade deal with China. The document now awaits final approval by the leaders of the two countries.

The head of the White House wrote about this on his page on the Trust Social social network.

Trump announced the deal with Chinese President Xi Jinping.

The parties agreed that tariffs for China will now be 55 percent, and for the United States – ten percent.

We get a total of 55 percent of the tariffs, China gets 10 percent.

- explained the President of the United States.

It is also important that the Chinese side will resume supplies of magnets and rare earth metals to American consumers. The Americans will also give Beijing what it needs. Among other things, this means providing students from China with the opportunity to study at US universities and colleges. At the same time, Trump noted that he has always been satisfied with the education of Chinese in American universities.

The relationship is great!

- this is how Trump described the dialogue between the leaders of the two largest economies on the planet.

US-China high-level talks in London lasted for two days and ended yesterday. Representatives of both sides announced to the public that they had reached an agreement.

Earlier, American media noted that the cessation of rare earth metal supplies from China puts the US defense industry in a very difficult position. The US automobile industry has also suffered greatly from this.

A hundred, not dysys? And how did he breathe, how did he breathe.

Trump's plans change more often than our weather, although it has been throwing up more and more surprises lately... But not as coolly as Trump does...

[kovaleff]

if you haven't achieved what you wanted...

[Viktor Sergeev]

I wonder if the Chinese are aware of this or if Donya is living in the virtual world again. The deal is considered concluded from the moment of signing and ratification, if required.

[Alekseev]

It's somehow strange - 55% and 10%....
Are the Chinese happy? Or are they not aware? Or has Trump gone crazy, as he often does?

[Alex_mech]

I think Trump said some nonsense, journalists multiplied the nonsense by a coefficient. And this is the incomprehensible news. Maybe 55% is a duty on Chinese cartoons or Chinese bananas, in general on something that China doesn't supply anyway.

Time will tell... initially, when Trump went on a rampage with tariffs for all countries, the Chinese side came out with the position of removing all barriers to trade because they contradict WTO rules, interfere with friendly American-Chinese relations, etc. Then long negotiations began, the result of which is unknown.

But if the information about 55% duties for China and 10% for the US is true + that China has lifted restrictions on rare earth supplies to America... this is a complete victory for Trump. Not only did the Chinese fail to achieve the removal of barriers, but they also sold them on such a sensitive issue... there is probably no need to even ask about chips, sanctions against Huawei, SMIC, etc.

The only plus for the Chinese is that they were allowed to remain on the American market, but if the duties are 55% (even on some individual items) - 40/30% - then European/Asian companies will have an advantage over companies from China... a trade defeat, pure and simple.

Trump has a holiday today, some kind of - Los Angeles, Comrade Xi, the Supreme Court confirmed the legitimacy of duties and tariffs, Miranda Divine has a very interesting podcast with Trump. Maximus, hold a parade on June 14 as it should be - "Caesar of the USA". And leave Ukraine alone, it's not your thing.

[tralflot1832]

And who voted me down - a fan of the Democratic Party? Trump is making the US great, not Russia and certainly not Ukraine and Europe. Only two countries have made a deal with Trump - England and China. The EU needs to hurry - Ursulka needs to get younger and wear a knee-length skirt and stop being cheeky. They were actually hoping for a Trump-Xi Jinping battle in the EU and were throwing mud at Maximus, being cheeky. Welcome to the Oval Office for a spanking.

And here's another news item of the hour: the newly elected President of Korea turned off the megaphones along the 38th parallel in the direction of the DPRK with the wish to Kim Jong-un that we could end the fecal air diplomacy from the DPRK.

[Nexcom]

...the South Koreans simply had nowhere to put the crap sent by the northerners...

zy and how simple it turned out - they covered them with shit, and they were already ready to talk... Maybe Bankova should also be covered in feces up to its ears?

[smart fellow]

There is simply a new president, a democrat Lee Jae-myung, who advocates dialogue with the DPRK. The previous conservative president was arrested and is under investigation for a military coup. Since the Republic of Korea has been a democratic country since the 80s, conservatives and democrats take turns taking the presidency, and the policy of relations with the DPRK changes accordingly. Before the current president, there was Lee Myung-bak (15 years and a fine of $11,5 million) - a conservative, then Park Geun-hye (20 years and a fine of 20 billion won, pardoned) - a conservative, Moon Jae-in - a democrat, Yun Sok-yol (arrested, under investigation) - a conservative. Depending on who was president, a democrat or a conservative, relations with the DPRK changed, since there was stability in the North in this regard.

The new President of South Korea believes that through dialogue with the DPRK and Russia his country will achieve much more than through sanctions, tough but stupid rhetoric and senseless but spectacular actions such as the loudspeaker installations south of the demilitarized zone.

[Arkee]

With China, everything is ahead, all the American high officials say - China is enemy number one in the twenty-first century. You can look at the Asia-Pacific region and see what kind of deal was made there.

Plus, grandma is already in good contact with the US, especially against the backdrop of the militarization of the EU and the purchase of military equipment from the US on a gigantic scale. 700 F-35 fighters, as an example

[Vladimir Vladimirovich Vorontsov]

❝ We get a total of 55 percent of the tariffs, China gets 10% ❞ —

— They've cooled down a bit...

[Pavel_Sveshnikov]

It is interesting what other trade turnover was removed from tariffs. Last time the Americans removed all electronics. What is interesting this time?

[Comrade Beria]

I'll digress from the topic, may the VO admins forgive me.



He really was a warrior. It's a pity that everything turned out this way. Through the prism of time, those events now look different. And the dead servicemen are not only on Prigozhin's conscience, much less Utkin's.

[Vladimir-TTT]

Quote: Comrade Beria

Through the prism of time, those events now appear in different colors.

How did you see them before, and how do you see them now, through the prism of time? What has changed in your perception?

[Comrade Beria]

I don’t like myself when I’re rubbing,
It annoys me when innocent people are beaten,
I do not like when I climb into the soul,
Especially when they spit in it. (c) VSV

[Vladimir-TTT]

Keep your soul to yourself. And to God. And answer the question - if you can. If you can't - just say so.
For me, Prigozhin’s march was, is and remains the March of Justice.
although I had to stand in the traffic jam that was used to “close” Moscow from Prigozhin and Utkin.

[Comrade Beria]

Quote: Vladimir-TTT

For me, Prigozhin’s march was, is and remains the March of Justice.

In the march of the so-called "justice", ordinary Russian servicemen should not have died. More than 20 pilots who were on board the 7 downed planes and helicopters died. In addition, an Il-22 plane and Mi-8MTPR-1 electronic warfare helicopters were lost, which complicated the situation of our troops, essentially blinding them, when repelling the "counteroffensive" of the summer of 2023, increasing losses.

They died because they were conducting a combat operation against a column of Russian troops that was marching. On foot. With all the proper attributes, including air defense.
Or, more generally, they died because someone very short-sighted and fearful sent them to the column.
Here Dmitry Valerievich Utkin has completed the combat part of the march as required by the regulations.

[Comrade Beria]

Well, yes, well, yes, especially the Il-22 and Mi-8MTPR-1, which do not have weapons on board, which were simply taken out of the possible attack range, and the helicopters took off on a combat mission.

Yes, yes, and everyone on board and their command are stupid and blind, knowing nothing, they just accidentally flew towards the convoy.
And what kind of column it was and what was happening - it simply didn’t occur to them to ask.

Utkin and Prigozhin simply repeated the Kornilov mutiny of September 1917. My acquaintances from the North Caucasus were very skeptical about Utkin. If Prigozhin and Utkin had managed to reach Moscow, then Russia would have had problems with separatists, both Chechen and Tatar, and Mordvin-Finnish.

[Vladimir-TTT]

Quote: gsev

My acquaintances from the North Caucasus were very skeptical about Utkin.

My relatives and friends from the Kursk region are very skeptical about the people from the Caucasus who were supposed to meet the Ukrainians when they invaded the Kursk region - but somehow they missed each other and were unable to meet.

Quote: gsev

If Prigozhin and Utkin had been able to reach Moscow, then Russia would have had problems with separatists, both Chechen, Tatar and Mordvin-Finnish.

If Prigozhin and Utkin had reached Moscow (they could have, but they didn't), then the political elite of Russia would have faced very serious changes and reshuffles. This would be a minus for a certain percentage of the population - for example, for migrants.
But, with a high degree of probability, as a result of such a “change,” the capitulation in Kyiv would already have been signed - possibly in 2024.

In the family of my friends from the North Caucasus, a brother was posthumously awarded the Order of Courage, a sister fought in the Second Chechen War, an uncle was a penal assault soldier in Zaporozhye, a nephew died in the special forces in the first year of the SVO, another relative is an officer at 60 years old with two artificial knee joints. In the family of your relatives from the Kursk region, just as many people fought against the Armed Forces of Ukraine

There are not many relatives in my family - only two people.
But you weren't talking about your relatives? You were talking about your friends:

By the way, what did the person who sent them to the column expect?
That there will no longer be a need to fight with Ukraine, and all this is no longer necessary?
Or "better at home" - the main thing is to protect yourself?

[Paranoid62]

Quote: Vladimir-TTT

And you're funny... in a country leading the BD, a certain businessman raises an armed rebellion. That's right - he needs to be fed, watered, and... whatever else he wants - do everything.

Quote: Vladimir-TTT

Or "better at home" - the main thing is to protect yourself?

No... Putin was supposed to personally meet the column, and Prigozhin (an oligarch, by the way) ) kiss your forehead tenderly...

Do you even understand what you're writing? You're a fan of "justice marches"

[Terenin]

Quote: Paranoid62

No... Putin was supposed to personally meet the column and tenderly kiss Prigozhin (an oligarch, by the way) on the forehead...

Even Putin and Prigozhin are secondary in this matter.
Any armed rebellion is a mortal threat. statehood, and any state simply crushes them mercilessly, as if out of an instinct for self-preservation.

Quote: Terenin

Yes, that's clear... I'm talking about Putin, so that it would be easier for the opponent.

He, poor guy, hasn't been able to answer my comment for 45 minutes already. Apparently, he sent a request to the center, what should he do? And the center is slow

[Vladimir-TTT]

Quote: Comrade Beria

I don’t like myself when I’re rubbing,

Yes. They didn't dare answer the question. They tried to divert the dialogue.

[Comrade Beria]

Prigozhin is a state criminal. I don't feel sorry for him. Utkin is a warrior. It was he who created Wagner from scratch. I feel sorry for him.
So arrange?

[Paranoid62]

Quote: Comrade Beria

So arrange?

Your opponent seems to have gone a bit nuts. He hasn't been able to respond to a similar serve for half an hour now.

[Vladimir-TTT]

Quote: Comrade Beria

So arrange?

No. This is not an answer to the question, but a way to "chat"...
The question was:
"How did you see them before, and how do you see them now, through the prism of time? What has changed in your perception?"
I hope you remember your message, which was the question...

[Paranoid62]

Quote: Vladimir-TTT

No. This is not an answer to the question, but a way to "chat"...

You "ask" with such, um, zeal, as if someone is obliged to answer you.

[Alex_mech]

Nothing from the news is clear. What exactly are the tariffs 55% for and what are they 10% for?

[rocket757]

And what actually happened?
Let's see the results of the deal...

We need to see, the South Koreans were the first to "swim" - let's live in peace. This is what the strategic alliance of the DPRK - Russia is doing. By the way, the Korean had this in his election promises - he is fulfilling them.

[gsev]

Quote: tralflot1832

The current ruling party has always been friendly to Russia against the backdrop of the openly anti-Russian current opposition. But it should be remembered that both parties are very loyal to the United States.

[nordscout]

It is difficult for Donald Fredovich to say anything and admit that he clearly "got a slap in the face" from Comrade Xi, therefore, within the framework of diplomatic protocol, it sounds like "Relations are excellent"...

[solar]

Imports to the US from China last year were $400 billion. If what is written in the article is true, then the US will get $220 billion out of thin air. China will only get $30 billion from duties. $190 billion is the difference for the US. A so-so deal. Probably, the Chinese had no choice :((

[gsev]

Quote from solar

The Chinese probably had no choice.

China does not have aviation technologies for civil aviation, some important microcircuits, some important components for pharmaceuticals. Russia is not able to replace the US in this. And it seems that Putin is holding back cooperation between Russia and China in knowledge-intensive industries. At the beginning of this trade war, both the US and China overestimated their capabilities and underestimated their dependence on the supply of products from the other side. China will partially reduce exports to the US and is unlikely to reduce prices for its goods for the US.

[ada]

To assess the "relations" it is necessary to precisely define the period in which the countries are and the corresponding nature of international relations, and to tie the period itself with a calendar to the probable periodization of the main geopolitical event, well - like "world war". Then we can speculate
