Trump: U.S. Will Win Trade War

Trump: U.S. Will Win Trade War

United States President Donald Trump reaffirmed his aggressive trade stance on Saturday, declaring that the United States is on track to win the ongoing trade conflict. In a bold social media statement, Trump claimed that the tariffs imposed under his administration have already spurred an 'economic revolution' and led to the return of businesses along with over $5 trillion in new investments.

Trump emphasized that the economic damage suffered by China far outweighs the effects on the United States. Describing the contrast as “not even close,” he asserted that the American economy is gaining strength while China's position weakens amid retaliatory measures.

Addressing what he perceives as long-standing injustices in global trade, Trump stated that the United States has been treated 'unsustainably badly' by other nations. He said the U.S. has effectively acted as a 'whipping post' in international trade relations — a role he firmly declared would come to an end under his leadership.

“Hang tough,” he wrote in his post. “It won't be easy, but the end result will be historic.” This message of resilience comes in the wake of newly implemented reciprocal tariffs that apply to most countries, including a fresh round of China-specific duties that began on April 2.

The president’s rhetoric reflects his commitment to reshaping the global trade environment, with a focus on bolstering U.S. economic power. As the trade conflict intensifies, Trump continues to frame the situation as a national challenge that will ultimately lead to a historic transformation of the American economy and its global standing.
