Trump vs. Xi: Temporary Trade Truce, But US-China Confrontation Escalates (2025)

The US-China trade war continues, despite a temporary truce. President Trump and Xi Jinping's summit in South Korea resulted in a one-year ceasefire, but the economic and military tensions persist. Trump's tariffs on Chinese imports have skyrocketed from 3.1% to over 47% during his presidency, with plans to further restrict advanced technology exports. China retaliated by limiting rare earth exports, essential for various industries. The situation escalated when Trump threatened 100% tariffs and nuclear testing, causing a temporary truce. However, the US-China Cold War continues, with Trump's team signing rare earth supply agreements in Asia. The Democratic Party criticizes Trump's approach, while the New York Times warns of the threat to US global supremacy. The underlying issue is the US's military and economic strategy to contain China, with the potential for a broader conflict.
