Trump is “desperate” to make a deal—China isn’t, analysts say

Analysts suggest that Donald Trump is eager to finalize a trade deal with China, as he considers reducing tariffs on Chinese imports. However, China appears in no rush, leveraging the situation to seek more favorable terms. Economists believe Trump's urgency could weaken the U.S. position, while China's strategic patience may offer them a better deal. Additionally, unresolved trade tensions complicate business decisions, such as ByteDance's attempt to spin off TikTok to avoid U.S. sanctions.
