Payam Javan: President Donald Trump accused China of breaching a temporary tariff agreement with the United States, escalating tensions in ongoing trade negotiations. In a Truth Social post on Friday, Trump declared that China had “totally violated” the May 12 deal, which paused reciprocal tariffs for 90 days, reducing U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods to 30% and China’s on U.S. imports to 10%. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, speaking on Fox News, noted that trade talks have stalled, suggesting that direct intervention from Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping may be necessary to resolve the complex issues, given their good relationship.
