《国会山报》报道称，特朗普在椭圆形办公室告诉记者：“145%非常高。不会那么高，不会那么高……不会接近那么高。”。“它将大幅下降，但不会为零。”
对中国征收的总体关税水平为145%，在特朗普将对其他贸易伙伴的“互惠”关税推迟90天并降至10%后，这一水平仍然存在。
特朗普在谈到中国时说：“我们会非常友好。他们会非常友好，我们会看看会发生什么。但最终，他们必须达成协议，否则他们将无法在美国进行交易。”。
白宫周二早些时候表示，它正在“为与中国达成协议奠定基础”，试图让紧张的金融市场和投资者放心，与北京的进展可能迫在眉睫。
特朗普说：“中国在搭我们的车，但这不会发生。我们将对中国非常好，与Xi主席有着良好的关系。但是，他们每年会赚数十亿美元，他们会从美国和他们制造的东西中建立军队。所以，这不会发生”。“但他们会做得很好，我认为他们会很开心，我认为我们会非常幸福地生活在一起，理想情况下会一起工作。”
据多份报道，美国财政部长斯科特·贝森特周二在华盛顿举行的一次投资者私人会议上表示，他预计美中贸易战将“缓和”。中国对美国商品征收报复性关税。
总统周二还表示，如果贸易伙伴无法达成协议，他的团队将在90天的暂停期结束后“达成协议”。而且，他说，自他暂停互惠关税以来的几周里，他一直在与“许多”世界领导人进行谈判，并预测谈判进程将“非常迅速”

Trump says tariff on China will ‘come down substantially’ from 145 per cent
U.S. President Donald Trump said Tuesday that the hefty tariff rate on China will significantly be reduced after he negotiates with Chinese President Xi Jinping, expressing optimism about a trade deal.
“145 percent is very high. It won’t be that high, it’s not going to be that high … it won’t be anywhere near that high,” The Hill reported Trump telling reporters in the Oval Office. “It will come down substantially, but it won’t be zero.”
The overall tariff level imposed on China is 145 percent, which remained in place after Trump delayed the “reciprocal” tariffs on other trading partners for 90 days and reduced them to 10 per cent.
“We’re going to be very nice. They’re going to be very nice, and we’ll see what happens. But ultimately, they have to make a deal because otherwise they’re not going to be able to deal in the United States,” Trump said, referring to China.
He cited his relationship with Xi as his reason for being optimistic about a deal. The White House said earlier Tuesday that it was “setting the stage for a deal with China,” seeking to reassure nervous financial markets and investors that progress with Beijing could be imminent.
“China was taking us for a ride, and it’s not going to happen. We’re going to be very good to China, have a great relationship with President Xi. But, they would make billions and billions and billions of dollars a year, and they would build their military out of the United States and what they made. So, that won’t happen,” Trump said. “But they’re going to do very well, and I think they’re going to be happy, and I think we’re going to live together very happily and ideally work together.”
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told a private meeting of investors in Washington on Tuesday that he expects a “de-escalation” in the trade war between the U.S. and China, according to multiple reports. China has levied retaliatory tariffs on American goods.
The president also said Tuesday that his team will “set the deal” when the 90-day pause has ended if trading partners are not able to reach one. And, he said he has been in talks with “many, many” world leaders in the weeks since he paused the reciprocal tariffs, predicting the negotiation process will “go pretty quickly.”
The administration has received 18 proposals from other countries as part of ongoing trade negotiations, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters. - April 23, 2025
