How will US-China relations fare under Trump 2.0?
In his second term in the White House, Donald Trump could remove pharmaceutical production in China for the US market. He could seek to acquire and protect key minerals needed for high-tech manufacturing, and will certainly continue to strengthen his goal of bringing manufacturing back to the US, according to The Diplomat.
“Every damn thing they sell in the United States is going to get a 25% tariff until they stop bringing drugs in. And let me tell you something, those meds will stop so damn fast that your head will spin. Trump had said at a rally in Pennsylvania.
Trump would also likely introduce a “witch hunt” against anyone he considers a “Chinese spy.” This would not only bring both economies close to a possible state of decoupling, but also disrupt more crucial scientific research.
