“Experts Weigh In on U.S.-China Trade Tensions as Trump Promises Economic Growth”
Stephen Olson, a former U.S. trade negotiator, noted that “Xi is positioning China as the defender of rules-based trade, while Trump appears focused on disrupting the current trade system.”
Olson added, “China has a unique opportunity to shape the narrative,” but Trump remains undeterred. In his response, Trump promised a stronger, more prosperous America, stating that the “Golden Age” of the country will usher in more and better-paying jobs, revitalized domestic manufacturing, and fairer treatment of other nations, particularly China, based on reciprocity.
