So much for being Mr. NICE GUY!,&#8221; Trump wrote in a post on his Truth Social platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>China\u00a0is the world&#8217;s largest steel producer and exporter. However, after the imposition of a 25% tariff in 2018, China&#8217;s steel exports to the US have significantly declined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The trade deal with China made in mid-May, according to Trump, was a \u201cfast deal\u201d, where officials of both countries paused tariffs of over 125% for 90 days. According to Trump, the trade agreement was finalised to prevent China from a &#8220;devastating&#8221; situation, including factory closures and civil unrest stemming from his tariffs, which reached as high as 145% on Chinese imports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, Trump did not clarify how the\u00a0trade deal\u00a0was violated or what action he plans to take against China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When asked about China trade in the Oval Office on Friday, the report quoted Trump saying, &#8220;I&#8217;m sure that I&#8217;ll speak to President Xi, and hopefully we&#8217;ll work that out.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"0\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eqwires.com\/tutorials\/who-is-the-best-sebi-registered-investment-advisor-in-i\">Eqwires Research Analyst<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-dark-gray-color has-text-color\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eqwires.com\/\">Top-notch SEBI registered research analyst<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-dark-gray-color has-text-color\"><strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eqwires.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Best SEBI registered Intraday tips provider <\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-dark-gray-color has-text-color\"><a href=\"mailto:info@eqwires.com\"><strong>info@eqwires.com<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-dark-red-color has-text-color\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/eqwires\">Telegram&nbsp;<\/a>|&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/eqwires\/\">Facebook&nbsp;<\/a>|&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/instagram.com\/Eqwires\">Instagram<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-dark-red-color has-text-color\"><strong>Call: +91 9624421555 \/&nbsp;<em>+91 9624461555<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.eqwires.com\/\">www.eqwires.com<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>US President Donald Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania announced that the United States would double steel tariffs from 25% to 50%, from next week onwards, while promoting the partnership between Japan&#8217;s Nippon Steel and US Steel.
