Donald Trump signed more than 40 executive orders on his first day as the 47th president of the United States, including a 75-day reprieve for TikTok’s Chinese owners. The following day, he suggested a 10% tariff would be applied to imports from China. In this show, our guests said Trump’s actions and remarks, including his wish to visit Beijing, Xi Jinping’s inauguration invitation together with the threat of tariffs, would act to put pressure on the Chinese leader.
