It's important to understand how quickly we were able to come to agreement, which reflects that perhaps the differences were not so large as maybe thought.

China Trade, India Peace Deals & MAHA Surgeon General | 5.12.25
There was a lot of groundwork that went into these two days. Just remember why we're here in the first place is the United States has a massive $1.2 trillion trade deficit. So the president declared a national emergency and imposed tariffs. And we're confident that the deal we struck with our Chinese partners will help us to resolve, work toward resolving that national emergency.

Mr. Trade Representative, are you aware that the tariffs have been paused? I am, yes. When were you made aware of that?

What are the details? How long is the pause? How many days? How many weeks? I understand it's 90 days. I haven't spoken to the president since I've been in this hearing. So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the president of the United States. He didn't know about it before it happened.

I don't think it would have mattered. We left at a time when we had a good candidate. She was fully funded. And what happened was I had become, what we had set out to do, no one thought we could do. I had become so successful on our agenda, it was hard to say, no, I'm going to stop now. It was a hard decision.

Well, I don't think so. I mean, I don't know how that would have made much difference.

It is modern day appeasement. And anybody thinks he's gonna stop is just foolish. I just don't understand how people think that if we allow a dictator, a thug, to decide he's going to take significant portions of land that aren't his, and that's going to satisfy him.

I think that's a very Washington thing to look at it. I think it is. But, you know, for me, we're worried about the United States of America. We have this giant trade deficit. We have offshore manufacturing. Our exports are way down. It's affecting normal people in the country. We want them to have jobs. We want them to have opportunities.

Not yet. Not yet. I did speak with my counterpart before April 2nd for a long time, over an hour. It was a virtual meeting, but I thought it was constructive. This is not a plan just to encircle China. It's a plan to fix the American economy, to have a greater share of manufacturing as GDP, to have real wages go up, to be producing things instead of having a

But in the meantime, they say it's going to cost the American household $4,800. What do you say to those households?

Well, first of all, I would say with respect to those projections, a lot of those are Wall Street analysts who have a lot to lose themselves. In the first term, we put a lot of tariffs on China and we saw similar predictions. Those ended up being wrong. Inflation went down. You know, I think the economic fundamentals of our country are still very, very good.

And while there may be an adjustment, I think we're going to be on a good path. And I don't think we're going to see that level of increase in household expenses.

What do you know about this pause? What are the details of it? Well, the details, as I understand it, is that China continues to retaliate. Other countries didn't retaliate. The president two or three days ago said we wanted to negotiate with those countries that asked for that asked for meetings. That's what we're doing. What are the details? How long is the pause? How many days? How many weeks?

Nearly 50 countries have approached me personally to discuss the president's new policy and explore how to achieve reciprocity. And they've spoken with many members of the administration. Several of these countries, such as Argentina, Vietnam, India, and Israel, have suggested that they will reduce their tariffs and non-tariff barriers in line with the president's policy.
