“Washington didn’t introduce new tariffs against China on March 1, although it had previously announced it. At the moment, China agrees to make trade concessions to the United States and for him this is not a matter of principle. Beijing agrees to increase US imports, and this does not affect China’s trade policy or the prospects for the Chinese economy. However, for the United States this is not a sufficient victory, so they are constantly trying to link the negotiations and the position of China with something else, ”the expert believes.
According to him, that is why the negotiations, despite the fact that it is quite successful, have not yet been completed.
Bruter noted that the United States is far from interested in the negotiations themselves or their success.
“They want an absolute victory, which can be given for political and media. If the negotiations are successful enough, the States will continue to constantly try to increase the issue price. However, if the United States imposes sanctions on China, this will mean defeat, not victory, because Beijing will cope with them, but Washington will not get any result. Trump's politics brought him to a standstill and he doesn’t know how else to act. The president knows very well how to come to a dead end, but he never got out of it, ”he said.
Earlier, Trump in his Twitter said that he turned to Chinese partners to immediately remove the duties imposed on agricultural products from the United States.
However, he clarified that the trade negotiations of the parties are successful.
