live Trump tariffs live updates: China signals readiness for talks if US
shows respect

On Wednesday, China expressed openness to trade talks with the US, but under
certain conditions. Beijing wants the Trump administration to show more
respect, including curbing disparaging remarks from officials. Additionally,
China is seeking a more consistent US stance and action on issues like
sanctions and Taiwan.
The country also insists the US appoint a point person for negotiations who
has the president’s backing, helping prepare a deal for Trump and Xi Jinping
to sign.
ASML (ASML) spooked investors on Wednesday, reporting weaker-than-expected
orders and admitting it can't yet assess the impact of new US tariffs.
A day earlier, Nvidia (NVDA) was barred from selling its H20 chip to China,
deepening the US-China tech rift. The twin developments underscore how the
trade war is already hitting global firms hard — with consequences likely to
ripple through chip earnings and China’s tech ambitions alike.
US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told Yahoo Finance on Tuesday that he was
optimistic about "clarity" on tariffs and progress on key trade deals over
the next 90 days, as President Trump simultaneously sought to ramp up
pressure on China to come to the negotiating table.
"Let's set aside China. There are 15 large trading partners. We set aside
China," Bessent told Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi. There are
14, and we're in rapid motion and setting up a process for the 14 largest
trading partners."
He added: "I think if we follow the process, we could have substantial
clarity on those 14 away from China in terms of agreements in principle. And
then once we reach a level that we've agreed on and they've agreed to lower
their tariffs, lower their non-tariff barriers, currency manipulation, and
subsidies of industry and labor, then I think we can move forward."
The comments come as Trump instituted a broad 90-day pause on steep
"Liberation Day" tariffs, aiming to give time for negotiators to work out new
deals. But Trump has also ballooned tariffs on China, as the tit-for-tat
between the world's two largest economies intensifies. China has raised its
duties on imports of US goods to 125% from 84%, while US tariffs on Chinese
imports have ballooned to 145%.
"The ball is in China’s court. China needs to make a deal with us. We don’t
have to make a deal with them," the White House press secretary said Tuesday,
reading a statement she said Trump had dictated.
Over the past several days, investors have focused on possible delays and
exemptions — on Monday, Trump signaled a possible delay to auto tariffs,
adding to market relief after suspending levies on some consumer tech, even
as he insists these tariffs will eventually come to fruition.
Late Monday, the Trump administration took a key step toward tariffs on
semiconductor and drug imports, as the Commerce Department began an
investigation seen as a precursor to imposing the levies.
Meanwhile, the baseline 10% tariff that went into effect on April 5 remains
in place for all affected imports into the US.
Elsewhere, goods compliant to the United States–Mexico–Canada Agreement
(USMCA) are imported tariff-free when traded among the three countries, while
most non-compliant goods are tariffed at 25%.
