President Donald Trump's administration on Sunday signaled openness to a trade deal with China, even as tensions escalated over Beijing's new export controls. The gesture followed Trump's Friday announcement of a sweeping 100% tariff on all Chinese imports starting November 1, in retaliation for China's restrictions on rare earth exports.
Vice-President J.D. Vance urged Beijing to "choose the path of reason," arguing Trump holds more leverage if the dispute drags on. Trump struck a conciliatory tone on Truth Social: "Don't worry about China, it will all be fine! Highly respected President Xi just had a bad moment. He doesn't want Depression for his country, and neither do I. The U.S.A. wants to help China, not hurt it!!!"
