Trump suggests 80% tariffs to China in the prior to negotiations
Before the meeting between US officials and their Chinese counterparts this weekend, President Trump hinted at a possible 80% tariff to China in a publication on social networks, which cooled some expectations of a progress in the current commercial war between the greatest economies in the world.
In his publication, Trump declared: “Trump: An 80% tariff to China seems correct! It depends on Scott B.”, referring to the US Treasury Secretary, Scott Besent.
It is not clear if Trump intends that the 80% tariff be a long -term measure, a temporary reduction of the current 145% tariff, or if Besent is granting the authority to negotiate lower tariffs with China.
An 80% tariff would be significantly lower than the current 145% tariff imposed on many Chinese products, however, even this reduced rate could be considered a barrier to trade.

Unido-rear pact: some win, others not so much
The commercial agreement between the United Kingdom and the US does not dismantle the 10% Trump base tariff, but offers strategic victories for the main British exporters, in the automotive, aerospace and steel sectors. Lale Akonon, an Etoro Global Analyst Financial Services Company, comments on the effects of the commercial pact between the US and the United Kingdom, “Jaguar Land Rover, Bentley and McLaren commercialize more calmly, the exports of the United Kingdom cars to the USA. They will now face a 10% tariff (compared to 27.5% potential) which effectively covers 99% of the current commercial volume. “
“Jaguar Land Rover praised the agreement as significant progress, with implications for long-term investment. Rolls-Royce obtained tariff free access for its reaction engines, which promoted its shares 3.6%. Boeing rose 2.8% after knowing an agreement of 10,000 million dollars with IAG (International Airlines Group),”.
Steel producers like Tata Steel also benefit: 370 million pounds of annual steel exports to the US are now in a more solid position, says Etoro analyst.
However, not everyone celebrates, “British exporters of food and drinks still face 10%tariffs, and national farmers fear an avalanche of ethanol and vaccine subsidized US.“Investors should be attentive to opportunities in the British Variable Income, sensitive to exports, and in US multinationals that benefit from reciprocal access,” it is about tariff diplomacy for quotas, and the model could last, “concludes Akoner.
