Trump accuses China of violating initial business deal

President Donald Trump on Friday mentioned that China has “totally violated its” initial business settlement with the United States, and recommended he would take motion in reaction.

“So much for being Mr. NICE GUY!” Trump wrote in a social media publish that mentioned China had reneged on a deal that paused retaliatory price lists between that nation and the U.S.

Stock futures fell Friday morning at the heels of Trump’s commentary.

U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, in a CNBC interview Friday morning, echoed Trump’s allegation, announcing “we’re very concerned with” China’s purported non-compliance with the brief business deal.

The “United States did exactly what it was supposed to do, and the Chinese are slow rolling their compliance,” mentioned Greer.

He known as that “completely unacceptable and has to be addressed.”

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, in a Fox News interview on Thursday, mentioned that business talks with China “are a bit stalled.”

The U.S. and China on May 12 agreed to a 90-day suspension on maximum price lists imposed on every different’s imports.

The settlement was once reached after Trump slapped sky-high price lists on imports from China into the U.S., and China retaliated in type.

“Two weeks ago China was in grave economic danger!” Trump wrote in his publish on Truth Social on Friday.

“The very high Tariffs I set made it virtually impossible for China to TRADE into the United States marketplace which is, by far, number one in the World,” Trump wrote. “We went, in effect, COLD TURKEY with China, and it was devastating for them. Many factories closed and there was, to put it mildly, “civil unrest.” I saw what was happening and didn’t like it, for them, not for us. I made a FAST DEAL with China in order to save them from what I thought was going to be a very bad situation, and I didn’t want to see that happen.”

“Because of this deal, everything quickly stabilized and China got back to business as usual. Everybody was happy! That is the good news!!!” the president wrote.

“The bad news is that China, perhaps not surprisingly to some, HAS TOTALLY VIOLATED ITS AGREEMENT WITH US. So much for being Mr. NICE GUY!”

Trump posted his screed two days after he lashed out at CNBC reporter Megan Cassella on the White House when she requested in regards to the time period “TACO business,” which refers back to the word “Trump Always Chickens Out.”

The time period, coined through a Financial Times columnist, means that inventory pickers can earn money through purchasing stocks after markets fall on information of recent price lists imposed through Trump, realizing that he invariably will pause or cut back the price lists, sending markets upper.
