US Fast-Tracks Trade Deals While China Stays Silent

The U.S. is racing to finalize trade deals with allies like Japan, the UK, and South Korea. But when it comes to China? Total radio silence.

U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer says some agreements could be sealed within weeks, focusing on cutting tariffs and boosting market access. But with China, there are no talks on the table. None.

Greer emphasized the U.S. aim of achieving fair trade, reducing a $1.2 trillion trade deficit, and responding to harmful foreign trade practices, particularly from government-subsidized economies like China.

Meanwhile, China’s playing hardball. Officials insist no negotiations are underway and demand the U.S. drop its “unilateral” tariffs. They’ve vowed to “fight to the end” against trade pressure.

So, while the U.S. is shaking hands with allies, China’s not even at the table. The trade war continues, and the silence is deafening.
