According to Reuters on the 18th, U.S. President Trump stated on Thursday that there is hope for a shift in the situation of mutual tariff increases between the USA and China. "I don't want the tariffs to continue to increase, because when the prices rise to a certain level, people will stop buying," Trump told reporters at the White House. "So I may not raise taxes further, and I might not even want to reach the current tax level. Perhaps I would choose a lower tax rate, because you want people to continue to consume, and at a certain critical point, people will stop buying."
