“DEAL WITH CHINA A MATTER OF WEEKS” Trump Hints At Tariff Rollback | Exposes Xi's Call To Him

President Trump spoke to China's Xi about the ongoing tariff battle, claiming both nations are in an escalating tit-for-tat trade war. While China has denied formal negotiations, Trump is confident that a deal is imminent in the coming weeks. He indicated a "number" that would make China comfortable, but the tariffs continue to cause market uncertainty and global recession fears. With China offering exemptions for critical goods, businesses hope these measures will ease tensions and stabilize supply chains. But, Beijing is prepared for a long-term fight if necessary. #TrumpVsXi #TariffWar #TradeBattle #ChinaUSRelations #USChinaTensions #GlobalTrade #TariffTensions #ChinaExemptions #EconomicUncertainty #TrumpTradePolicy #GlobalMarkets #ChinaTradeWar #SupplyChainStability #PoliticalDrama #EconomicDiplomacy #USMarkets #ChinaEconomy #RecessionFears #TradeNegotiations #BusinessNews #ChinaTariffs #USPolitics #TrumpAdministration #MarketImpact #XiJinping #PoliticalShift #Trump Also Read Trump Considers Temporary Exemption from Auto Tariffs to Aid Car Manufacturers Amid Economic Challenges :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-considers-temporary-exemption-auto-tariffs-011-4124041.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Slaps 145% Tariffs On China As Trade War Deepens :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-slaps-145-tariffs-on-china-as-trade-war-deepens-4120591.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Praises Chinese Counterpart Xi Jinping Amid US-China Tariff Standoff, Calls Him 'Very Smart Man' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-praises-chinese-counterpart-xi-jinping-amid-us-china-tariff-standoff-calls-him-very-smart-ma-4120019.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~GR.124~

POPE Funeral Latest: Chinese Defy Xi Jinping's Regime, Bid Farewell to POPE Despite Beijing’s Hate

China’s state-sanctioned Catholic church has branded Pope Francis a “Western stooge” and criticized Vatican–Beijing agreements as threats to national sovereignty. Underground congregations are now pressing for unity despite strict party surveillance, while hardline officials accuse the late pontiff of meddling in Chinese religious policy. Human rights groups condemn the broader crackdown on Christians, even as experts like Michel Chambon praise Francis’s diplomatic reset with Beijing. With the next papal selection looming, Chinese Catholics face a pivotal choice between state control and underground solidarity. #ChinaVsPope #WesternStooge #VaticanBeijing #ChineseCatholics #FaithUnderFire #ReligiousFreedom #UndergroundChurch #PapalLegacy #ChinaRelations #UnityInFaith
