President Donald Trump said on May 30 that China has “totally violated” its agreement with the United States after the two nations put a pause on escalating tariffs earlier this month.
In a Truth Social post, Trump said the 145 percent tariffs he had placed on China imports made it “virtually impossible” for China to trade with the United States. He said he opted to offer China a deal for their sake, referencing reports of civil unrest among Chinese citizens.
