Group 1 - The core point of the article is the delay in the signing of a joint statement following the third round of Sino-U.S. economic and trade talks, attributed to political considerations by President Trump [1][4][18] - The trade "ceasefire" agreement reached in Geneva in May included a mutual reduction of tariffs by 115%, with 24% of tariffs postponed for 90 days, originally set to expire on August 12 [2][5] - Trump's decision to extend the 24% tariff for another 90 days came only late on August 11, indicating a lack of immediate action despite the completion of talks [2][4] Group 2 - Trump's public statements suggest he is pleased with the outcomes of the talks, yet he is cautious about appearing to compromise on China [4][7] - The U.S. economy is showing signs of strain, with rising tariffs leading to increased consumer prices and potential impacts on household spending, estimated to rise by approximately $2,400 annually due to new tariffs [9][11] - The inflation expectations in the U.S. have risen from 2.6% in June to 2.9% in July, complicating the Federal Reserve's monetary policy decisions [14] Group 3 - Economic experts warn that the pressures on the U.S. economy are intensifying, with the unemployment rate slightly increasing from 4.1% to 4.2% in July, raising concerns about the accuracy of employment data [15] - The financial outlook remains pessimistic, with predictions of potential declines in the S&P 500 index by up to 14% by the end of the year due to the uncertainties surrounding tariff policies [16] - The current "ceasefire" in trade negotiations may only be a temporary measure, as Trump could reignite the trade war once the immediate challenges are resolved [19]
