President Trump's Win Might Be the Biggest Yet

The Trump Administration has scored perhaps its most vital trade deal. U.S. Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick and President Donald Trump both announced that a trade deal had been reached with China, pending final approval.

Trump was clearly excited, writing in his signature all-caps style about the news on Truth Social:

OUR DEAL WITH CHINA IS DONE, SUBJECT TO FINAL APPROVAL WITH PRESIDENT XI AND ME. FULL MAGNETS, AND ANY NECESSARY RARE EARTHS, WILL BE SUPPLIED, UP FRONT, BY CHINA. LIKEWISE, WE WILL PROVIDE TO CHINA WHAT WAS AGREED TO, INCLUDING CHINESE STUDENTS USING OUR COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES (WHICH HAS ALWAYS BEEN GOOD WITH ME!). WE ARE GETTING A TOTAL OF 55% TARIFFS, CHINA IS GETTING 10%. RELATIONSHIP IS EXCELLENT! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!

We don’t have all the details yet, and both President Xi and President Trump must sign off on the final deal. But the framework sounds promising.

Some thought that the U.S. might be done with China altogether. Yet we were never going to cut China off completely. So we must make the best of negotiating with an adversary.

In the meantime, despite all the doom and gloom predicted by the mainstream media, the American economy continues to improve. We have just received the news that inflation in May grew by less than projected following Trump’s implementation of worldwide tariffs. Currently, the projected yearly inflation rate stands at 2.4% – significantly lower than the peak of 9.1% during the Biden Administration.

We shouldn’t be surprised by Trump’s negotiating tactics thus far with China. He’s taking direction from his book The Art of the Deal. You start out big and then work your way back to an acceptable compromise with the other side.

With the U.S. accepting a 55% tariff rate on Chinese goods, President Trump still maintains a strong message on the importance of bolstering domestic manufacturing and job creation. His negotiating team was also able to lower China’s tariff on American goods, further encouraging U.S. companies to export products, thereby increasing demand for American goods. So that’s another huge win.

Ultimately, the trade deal still fully recognizes that China is an adversary. The Trump Administration has a healthy respect for the danger that China poses to the U.S.

Even by allowing Chinese students back on campuses, the new FBI should better identify any subversive infiltration of Chinese Communists, unlike the previous Administration, which spent way too much time targeting Christians in churches. We also shouldn’t see any Chinese spy balloons traversing the U.S.

U.S. foreign policy is also making waves in the Middle East. U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee recently stated that America no longer wants to see a state of “Palestine.” ACLJ Senior Counsel for International and Government Affairs Jeff Ballabon reacted to Huckabee’s comments:

There’s a whole media narrative that says that the two-state solution has always been the policy. That’s just not true. The two-state solution idea is younger than Google. The two-state solution idea was anathema to American policy; [it] didn’t matter. Republicans, Democrats, whoever was in office – the notion of a Palestinian state was anathema, not only until Oslo was signed in 1993, but even five years later. People don’t remember this, [but] in May of 1998, First Lady Hillary Clinton opined on her own that maybe a Palestinian state wouldn’t be a terrible idea, and the Clinton White House went out multiple times to say she’s off the reservation, that’s not policy. Everybody, including The New York Times, agreed that the notion of a Palestinian state at that point was considered anathema to American foreign policy. . . .

We’ll see where this ends, but I’ll tell you, here in Israel, this is greeted with much happiness and joy and big sighs of relief because it’s really about time the world recognized that the Palestinians do not want peace. They do not want co-existence.

The ACLJ fully rejects the idea of a “Palestinian” state. Watch our short video explaining the myth of such a two-state solution.
