We all know that Trump was never a gentle person, but this time he seemed to be really “harmed.” After waking up, his anger almost burst out of the screen.
Just recently, China announced the implementation of export controls on key rare earth related technologies.It’s not just an economic policy adjustment, but a bomb dropped in the “heart” of the global supply chain. Washington was immediately touched, and Trump was particularly serious.
He posted thousands of words on social media, and his tone was so fierce that people almost thought that he was going to launch another trade war. He described China's actions as "very strange" and "hostile", and even tried to forcibly link them with the conclusion of the Gaza ceasefire agreement, questioning whether there was a coincidence.
However, what really stirs up the market is the follow-up of Trump. He angrily announced that he would impose an additional 100% tariff on China starting from November 1.If this policy is implemented, the US tariff on China will soar to 130%.
In just three minutes after the news was released, the market value of the S&P 500 index instantly evaporated by US $700 billion, and the U.S. stock market closed that day with the worst plunge since April.The Nasdaq plunged 820 points, and the Dow fell 878 points, with an overall loss of $1.65 trillion.
The market voted with its feet to express its panic about Trump's trade war threat, and also declared a sentiment of no longer trusting the "Trump-style trade war". This response is not only a manifestation of sensitivity to the global economic network, It is also a silent protest against Trump’s quick profit strategy.
Looking back, China's counter-reaction this time is not an isolated action, but a step in the long-term game of China and the United States. Earlier, the United States had just announced that it would impose high port charges on Chinese ships, and China was immediately taking reciprocal measures.
This series of actions is not only an economic means, but also a direct slap in the face to Trump's self-proclaimed "role as a mediator." This “facing” seems fatal to Trump, who has always regarded the Nobel Peace Prize as something in his pocket.
Nor did the Norwegian Nobel Committee allow him to pay for it, awarding the 2025 Peace Prize to Venezuelan opposition leader Machado. Such a decision undoubtedly supplemented Trump’s “golden dream.”
Trump has long branded himself a "peacemaker", claiming that his contributions are enough to win the Nobel Peace PrizeThis gesture was not only for glory, but also for the consolidation of his political capital.
However, the reality is contrary to his wishes.The decision on the Norwegian side clearly hit him, and this feeling of neglect may be more distressing than any economic frustration.
At a press conference in Tajikistan, Putin expressed his dissatisfaction with the Nobel Peace Prize. He said that many of the past winners had made no substantial contributions to world peace, and further said that the credibility of the award is debatable.Putin also specifically mentioned Trump's efforts on the situation in the Middle East.
This statement immediately received a positive response from Trump.He forwarded the relevant video on his social media platform and submitted it. “Thank you to President Putin!”
In a sense, this is both a consolation for Trump and a strategic gesture.
Trump’s determination to pursue the Nobel Peace Prize is shocking. Israel even reached a ceasefire agreement with Hamas, adding weight to Trump's peace achievements, but this still cannot change his fate of failing to win the award.
The international community has long seen through his repeated unreasonable interference in other countries' internal affairs and frequent withdrawal from international institutions. The so-called "ending eight wars" has also been pointed out by the media as being full of lies.Per Trump himself has realized that the Peace Prize is not so easy to get into his arms.
And Putin’s reason for Trump’s “disagree” may have deep considerations behind it.To alleviate US-Russian tensions or important purposes, rely on Trump's affirmation to release goodwill signals to the US side.This move can also add variables to the Russian-Ukrainian conflict and disrupt the U.S. internal policy layout towards Ukraine.
At the same time, also to Zelensky, let him see the subtle changes in U.S.-Russian relations, shake his excessive reliance on the U.S. support against Russia confidence, can be called a bullet.
Finally, let’s talk about the tariff war that Trump was doomed to fail, and it turns out that such a strategy not only does not weaken China’s international competitiveness, but has severely affected the US economy. Whenever Trump tries to change the situation through tough measures, he will be firmly and calmly countered by China.
So, for Trump, recognizing the reality and adjusting the strategy in a timely manner may be what he is reducing losses on the international stage. only way。
