Title: Trump Opens Trade Talks Window While Threatening China With Steeper
Tariffs

Link: https://news.slashdot.org/story/25/04/07/1558...

President Donald Trump signaled a potential diplomatic opening amid his
aggressive tariff strategy on Monday, threatening China with an additional
50% tariff while simultaneously offering other nations a path to negotiate
lower trade barriers. The ultimatum to Beijing demands China withdraw a 34%
increase by April 8, 2025, or face supplementary tariffs effective April 9,
which would push total levies on Chinese goods to 104% or higher. Trump has
already imposed a 20% tariff over fentanyl concerns and a 34% tariff related
to trade issues. "Negotiations with other countries, which have requested
meetings, will begin taking place immediately," Trump wrote on social media,
marking a shift from the administration's previously unyielding stance.
