Let's Talk Trade: Breaking Down David Tawil's Take on the US-China Trade War

Trump hints at reinstating reciprocal tariffs in a matter of weeks

President of ProChain Capital, David Tawil, offers insights on the trade disagreements brewing between the US and China. Here's a straightforward look at the ongoing tussle and its potential impact on cryptocurrency.

Trump's Drawl on TariffsTrump, in his recent statement, has hinted at the possibility of easing the 145% tariff on China, stating, "We get along. I get along very well with President Xi. You know, we can make a deal." While the easing is on the cards, it hinges on China's cooperation.

The Fentanyl FactorThe high tariff was initially implemented due to the high volume of fentanyl, an opioid, being imported from China, which has reportedly led to the deaths of over 200,000 Americans.

Trade Tensions: A Tenuous RelationshipThe trade tension between the two superpowers has led to both countries levying tariffs on each other, with China responding to the US tariffs by imposing its own, including a 125% tariff on certain US imports.

Possible Negotiations' ImpasseRecent statements from Chinese officials suggest there are no ongoing negotiations between the two countries. China voiced their concern over the US's "unilateral measures" and has threatened "reciprocal countermeasures" against countries that cooperate with the US in isolating China.

Trump's Take on the Trade DeficitTrump claims the tariffs on China have helped the US shift from losing billions of dollars daily to "actually making money but breaking even." He stressed that the revenue would be used to reduce taxes.

China's Strategy: Stand Firm or Concede?An economist from The Economist Intelligence Institute, Yue Su, stated that China's strategy has shifted from accommodating US demands to advocating for their own needs due to inconsistencies and lack of clarity in Trump's policies.

Cryptocurrency's Role in the Trade DisputeWhile not the central focus, the ongoing trade war could potentially impact cryptocurrency. The uncertainty generated by the negotiations could lead to market volatility, making it challenging to predict cryptocurrency's trajectory.
