U.S. Domestic Reactions: There is a mixed response within the U.S. regarding the trade negotiations. Some officials view the TikTok agreement as a mere delay of the crisis rather than a substantial breakthrough [6][21]. 4. Impact of Fentanyl Tariffs: The issue of fentanyl tariffs and related chemical exports complicates negotiations, with the U.S. blaming China for drug-related deaths while China emphasizes its strict export controls [9][8]. 5.

Legal Challenges to Tariff Policies: Trump's tariff policies face legal challenges, particularly regarding the legality of bypassing Congress to impose tariffs, which could affect future trade strategies [20].
