After the meeting, Trump personally sent the Chinese side in the car to show the friendship between the two sides, but his colour is still tense.
However, Trump turned his head and announced that the U.S. won the talks.U.S. media noted that Trump said on October 30th that if he finished 10 minutes, he would give the meeting with China 12 points.
The meeting between China and the United States lasted about 1 hour and 40 minutes, which was less than Trump's previous statement of "four hours of talk." However, Trump unilaterally announced that the soybean issues and rare earth issues, which are of greatest concern to the United States,"have been resolved."
Trump said: “Massive, huge amounts of soybeans and other agricultural products will be purchased immediately and will start immediately.”
For American farmers, Trump's remarks made them see the hope of a long drought and rain.
According to previous data, U.S. farmers have lost billions of dollars in sales while China avoided the U.S. autumn harvest of soybeans. Throughout September, China did not buy a single grain of U.S. soybeans.
To know, the Midwestern agricultural state has always been an important box office for Trump, and Bono's sentiment is about the future of the Republican Party.
However, people also need to note that the day before the Sino-US talks, COFCO enterprises had started to re-purchase American soybeans, but the quantity was not large. Trump's words are often exaggerated. If he wants China to completely resume importing American soybeans, he needs to make corresponding concessions.
As for the rare earth issue, Trump announced, “All rare earth issues have been solved, and this is for the whole world. Now that barrier has disappeared, and there is no barrier at all in the rare earth side, hopefully this will temporarily disappear from our vocabulary.”
It can be perceived that the Trump administration is caught up with the rare earth issue and is now upset when looking at the word rare earth.
Trump then added that the United States will be able to continue to buy and produce rare earths. From this point of view, Trump has not won a "complete victory" on the rare earth issue. In other words, Trump only got limited concessions.
Earlier, after the Ministry of Commerce announced the implementation of export controls on rare earth and other related items, Trump threatened to impose 100% tariffs on all Chinese imported US goods.
Now, the United States has not only announced in advance that it will not consider adding 100% tariffs to China, but also said that if China can cooperate with the United States in the field of fentanyl, the United States can consider canceling the original tariffs imposed on China due to fentanyl.
It is worth noting that China's response was equally positive. China pointed out that "China and the United States should be partners and friends." This sentence sets the tone for the future positioning of Sino-US relations.
More importantly, China and the United States agreed to strengthen cooperation in economic and trade, energy and other fields, promote humanitarian exchanges and maintain regular exchanges, and Trump expects to visit China in April next year and invite the Chinese side to visit the United States.
The restart of this high-level interaction is of great significance to Sino-US relations. China specifically mentioned that China will host APEC next year and the United States will host the G20 summit. Both sides can support each other.
In general, the Sino-U.S. dialogue is always better than the confrontation.We emphasize in particular that the Sino-U.S. and the U.S. should consider the long-term benefits of cooperation, rather than fall into the vicious cycle of mutual retaliation.
For this point, Trump, who has experienced setbacks, believes that he can feel the same way. But we can't rule out that Trump will find every opportunity to make small moves, which still requires us to continue to be on guard.
