China Quietly Caves To Trump, Exempts Tariffs https://trendingpoliticsnews.com/new-china-quietly-caves-to-trump-exempts-tariffs-mstef/ Tariff talks between U.S. and Chinese officials are underway, but already concessions by China are being made, either as a sign of good faith or a tacit acknowledgement that the Trump administration has the communist country over a barrel. Approximately one-quarter of all U.S. imports to China have been quietly exempted from 125% tariffs, representing $40 billion in American-made goods that will now reach Chinese consumers without the sky-high surtax, according to the latest reports. The move comes as Beijing attempts to soften the blow to its own economy amid an across-the-board 145% tariff rate implemented on Chinese imports by President Donald Trump.

Trump Tariffs Steal Huge Employer From China https://trendingpoliticsnews.com/trump-tariffs-steal-huge-employer-from-china-mace/ President Donald Trump’s aggressive tariff strategy against China has delivered a high-profile manufacturing victory to the United States. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), the world’s largest contract chipmaker, announced it will expand its U.S. investment by another $100 billion—bringing the total to $165 billion. The expansion marks the largest foreign direct investment in American history and signals a decisive shift away from Chinese reliance in the tech supply chain.

India Offers Zero-For-Zero Tariffs In Major Trade Win For Trump https://trendingpoliticsnews.com/ne...ro-tariffs-in-major-trade-win-for-trump-mace/ Indian officials recently offered a bold new trade proposal during closed-door meetings in Washington—one that Trump allies are already calling a major victory. India’s latest offer includes removing tariffs altogether on U.S. steel, auto components, and pharmaceutical imports—up to a negotiated volume—on the condition that the United States does the same. The proposal, described by people familiar with the talks who spoke to Bloomberg, would revert to normal tariff levels only once that volume threshold is crossed. Negotiators are eyeing a deal as early as this fall.
The Trump administration has already rejected zero tariffs offers from many other countries. India offering it is not a win... it is meaningless.

Nothing to see here....Ford will take the $1.5Billion hit , to make America Great. Ford sees $1.5 bn tariff hit this year, suspends 2025 forecast Ford reported a 65 percent drop in first-quarter profits Monday, citing a near-term drag on auto sales from new vehicle launches, as it withdrew its forecast amid tariff uncertainty. The carmaker estimated a full-year net hit of about $1.5 billion in adjusted operating earnings following President Donald Trump's myriad tariff actions since returning to the White House in January. The company has implemented some supply chain changes to mitigate any blowback from Trump's tariffs, shaving $1 billion from the overall tariff drag, which Ford estimated at $2.5 billion after levies on imported finished vehicles, steel and aluminum and imported parts.
