Which is what trump promised.

That is a big win from where it used to stand with China gouging our products with tariffs.

***Making it permanent is still an issue for sure***. But it was a big buckle by China, and they would not make such a move unless they were forced to do so...esp after how much money they pumped into their economy to hide the damage.

  - 30% tarriff on China. It basically went back to the Liberation Day's 34%, not to status quo ante. - Eli - 10:22am 5/13/25

      - In fact they did not. They reciprocated a reduction in tariffs. They caved. [NT] - Hensou - 11:06am 5/13/25

        I'm not in a cult. That is a childish accusation and a provable lie. Your point is not proven. [NT] - Hensou - 11:30am 5/13/25
