Hey there! Have you heard about what’s happening between China and the United States?
So, the Chinese Ministry of Commerce said they’re thinking about having talks with the U.S. about trade. But what’s trade? It’s when countries buy and sell things to each other.
Recently, the U.S. said they want to talk to China about tariffs. Tariffs are like extra taxes that countries put on things they buy from each other. Imagine if you had to pay extra to buy candy from another school! 🍬
China says that they’re open to talking, but the U.S. needs to show they’re serious. China believes that the U.S. started this “tariff war” by putting extra taxes on Chinese goods. They want the U.S. to remove these tariffs to show they really want to make things better.
The U.S. has hinted they might change these tariffs, which is a good sign. But China warns that if the U.S. doesn’t remove the unfair tariffs, it would be hard to trust them during talks.
It’s like when two friends have a disagreement. If one friend says sorry but doesn’t really change their actions, it’s hard to fully trust them again. 🤷♂️
Let’s hope they can work things out so everyone can get along!
