Trump Shifts Strategy, Now Aiming for a Trade Deal with China
US President Donald Trump has reportedly begun changing his approach towards China, shifting from pressure to negotiation. According to a Wall Street Journal report, Trump is now focused on seeking an economic agreement that could expand US access to the Chinese market, particularly in the business and technology sectors.
This change in strategy comes ahead of a new round of trade negotiations between the two countries scheduled for next week. Previously known for his tough approach through tariffs and threats of sanctions, Trump now appears more open to compromise in order to achieve concrete results.
Trump's primary goal is to open greater opportunities for US companies in the Chinese market, including broader access to the technology sector and intellectual property protection. This move is also expected to improve the US trade balance, which has been in deficit with China.
However, the negotiation process is expected to be challenging, given lingering trade tensions and geopolitical rivalries between the two countries. However, the shift from confrontation to compromise signals that Washington is now more focused on achieving tangible results. (ayu)
