Trump government deals with frustration about trade talks with China
The recent measures of the Trump administration against China result from the conviction that China did not comply with the commitments made during the trade talks this month report three officials from the administration. This week, the government took steps to revoke the Visa for Chinese students and to suspend the sale of certain critical technologies to Chinese companies.
frustration about China
The officials responded expressed their frustration that China did not comply with the obligations that were intended to defuse the trade conflict between the two countries. They strive to achieve a comprehensive agreement by mid -August.
The complex relationship between the USA and China
This dispute illustrates the tense relationships between the two largest economies in the world. Even after the two sides had agreed to reduce the high tariffs introduced by President Donald Trump during the talks in Switzerland, the gap seems to be enlarged with regard to the supply chains, which both nations consider crucial for national security.
Surprise about export restrictions
After the talks in Geneva this month-the first substantial meeting since the introduction of tariffs-US officials had expected China to loosen the export restrictions for rare earths. These minerals are crucial for everything from iPhones and electric vehicles to expensive weapons systems such as the F-35 fighter aircraft and rocket systems.
reactions of the Trump administration
The absence of these loosening caused intensive displeasure in the Trump administration and triggered the recent series of costs that were imposed China. The decisions in Washington to limit the sale of critical technologies to China and reduce the number of Chinese students in the USA show how central the trade war is for the entire foreign policy of administration.
strategy of administration
It is a "uniform strategy of administration", as a high -ranking civil servant describes the associated measures. The measures taken last week will have a significant impact on Chinese tech companies and students.
new export controls
According to Financial Times, Trump has effectively excluded various American companies from the sale of software used for the design of semiconductors. A spokesman for Siemens later announced that the US government informed the industry on Friday about new export controls for chip design software to China and Chinese military end users worldwide.The future of trade talks
Finance Minister Scott Bessent, whom Trump entrusted with the management of the talks, has emphasized the importance of the process that Geneva talks have introduced for the negotiations in the coming months. It underlined the value of the "mechanism", which was set up between the US and Chinese pages to prevent future escalations that could endanger further discussions or a final result.
collaboration and strategies
Bessent, who headed the Geneva talks together with the US trade officer Jamieson Greer, focused on a functioning relationship and said that another personal meeting between both sides in the future is likely. However, Bessent also coordinated his public statements in such a way that the United States has no plans to slow down or stop a strategic decoupling process of China in relation to supply chains that are considered critical of the USA National Security.
FAZIT
US-official emphasized that they do not worry about the pressure that could endanger the future trade talks between the USA and China, but rather aim to make it clear that a lack of willingness to actively participate in ongoing trade talks has consequences for the country. "It is clearly an escalation, but when you see what Trump does when he thinks he is about to be on the point of a deal, he tries to increase rhetoric," said a person from the White House environment.
