Both world leaders have implemented trade measures whose economic impact transcends the borders of their countries that are vying for economic hegemony in the world.
However, it has been the tenant of the White House who has had to back down from his rhetorical aggressiveness towards the Asian giant. Trump has lowered his belligerent tone against China in two aspects: first, a few days ago he confirmed his intention to meet with his Chinese counterpart in South Korea; Then, he said that the high tariffs of more than 100 percent that his Administration imposed against that country, in the context of the economic war declared by the US president, “are not sustainable.”
The Republican announced on October 10 that he would impose new 100 percent tariffs on Chinese imports, in addition to any tariffs he is currently paying, starting November 1. The news generated a negative impact on world markets, in addition to affecting the Mexican peso, which registered a fall of 0.41 percent.
In addition, the magnate said that, also from that date, he would put export controls on “any and all critical software”, a measure that impacts the Asian giant and other countries on that continent.
The two presidents have had at least three telephone conversations this year, the most recent in September. The last time they met in person was in 2019 during the Republican magnate’s first term, according to reports. Bloomberg.
