China rejects US tariff reduction offer in trade war

baltimoresun.com

China remains firm in its trade war stance, denying any negotiations with the U.S. despite the White House hinting at tariff reductions. The Trump administration has suggested lowering tariffs, currently exceeding 100% on both sides, while China denies any discussions. The trade war has led to lowered growth forecasts and potential supply shortages, with China preparing for a prolonged conflict. China has responded with retaliatory measures, including canceling orders and exempting some U.S. semiconductors from tariffs. Analysts suggest both sides may seek common ground, but the path to resolution remains uncertain.
