Chinese officials have called on President Trump to fully cancel tariffs on Chinese goods as tensions between the two countries persist.
Chinese officials are urging U.S. President Donald Trump to "completely cancel" his so-called reciprocal tariffs, as the trade war between the world’s two largest economies continues.
Trump recently announced a 90-day pause on several global tariffs but raised duties on Chinese imports to 145%.
China’s commerce ministry called on Washington to make a significant correction, end the "wrong practice" of reciprocal tariffs, and return to a path of mutual respect.
Late Friday, the Trump administration exempted a range of widely used tech products and components — including smartphones, computers, semiconductors, solar cells, and flash drives — from the tariffs, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
The exemptions were seen as a major win for tech giants like Apple, which rely heavily on Chinese manufacturing.
China’s commerce ministry described the move as a "small step" and said it was assessing its impact.
U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said Sunday there are currently no plans for Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping to hold talks.
