Common questions between the United States of China for war
In general, the trade war is an economic conflict between the two countries or more due to severe protectionism at one party. It involves the creation of commercial barriers, such as customs tariffs, which lead to anti -import barriers, and to import costs, and thus the cost of living.
The economic conflict between the United States (the United States) and China began in early 2018, when President Donald Trump laid commercial barriers on China, claiming unfair commercial practices and theft of intellectual property from the Asian giant. China has taken retaliatory measures and imposed a tariff on multiple American goods, such as cars and soybeans. Tensions escalated until the two countries signed the commercial deal for the first stage of the United States of China in January 2020. The agreement requires structural reforms and other changes on the economic and commercial system in China and demonstrated by restoring stability and confidence between the two countries. However, the Koronavus virus’s pandemic took the focus from the conflict. However, it should be noted that President Joe Biden, who took office after Trump, maintained the customs tariff in his place and added some additional fees.
Donald Trump’s return to the White House as an American president ignited 47 new waves of tensions between the two countries. During the 2024 election campaign, Trump pledged to impose 60 % of the customs tariff on China once he returns to his position, which he did on January 20, 2025. With the emergence of Trump, the American trade war and China aim to resume the place where it was left, with policies for corrections that affect global economic records in nutrition in nutrition.
