However, he later imposed 100% tariffs on Chinese goods, triggering sharp declines in stock and crypto markets. Despite the tension, Trump softened his stance during a press briefing, stating the meeting with Xi was not canceled. While acknowledging ongoing challenges, he signaled openness to dialogue. The situation remains uncertain as global markets react to the shifting dynamics.
