President Trump initially criticized China on Truth Social, accusing it of turning “very hostile” and suggesting no reason to meet President Xi Jinping. 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.
