U.S. President Donald Trump is willing to negotiate a trade deal with China, but the White House insists that China must initiate the discussions. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt stated that "the ball is in China’s court" and emphasized that China needs the American consumer. This comes amid escalating trade tensions, with China recently raising tariffs on U.S. goods to 125% in retaliation to U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports, which have reached 145%.
