U.S. President Donald Trump has taken a bold step in reshaping international trade by signing an executive order on Saturday, imposing a 10-percent tariff on goods imported from the Chinese mainland. This move has sparked significant controversy and debate on both sides of the Pacific.
The Chinese mainland's Ministry of Commerce expressed strong dissatisfaction and firmly opposed the newly announced tariffs. This development marks a pivotal moment in the long-standing economic tensions between the two global powerhouses.
In light of these changes, CGTN Stringer reached out to American citizens to gather their perspectives on Trump's tariff policies and the future of China-U.S. trade relations. The insights reveal a nation divided, with opinions ranging from support for protecting domestic industries to concerns over potential price increases for consumers.
As the global economy watches closely, the implications of these tariffs could reshape international trade dynamics and influence future economic policies worldwide.
