President Donald Trump has hinted at a significant upcoming announcement, coinciding with progress in U.S.–China trade negotiations that could reshape the economic relationship between the two nations.
“My next TRUTH will be one of the most important and impactful I have ever issued. ENJOY!” Trump wrote in a post, building anticipation for what may be a major political or economic reveal.
In a previous message, Trump pointed to the effectiveness of his trade policies, particularly the implementation of tariffs, which he says played a key role in pushing Beijing to the negotiating table. “IN JUST THREE MONTHS, TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS (and therefore, record numbers of JOBS!) HAVE BEEN POURING INTO THE USA. THIS IS BECAUSE OF MY TARIFF POLICY, and our great November 5th Election WIN!” he stated.
Trump also lashed out at critics in a separate message, mocking Democrats for their reaction to the current economic momentum. “The very STUPID Democrats are doing everything within their power to disparage what is happening. They are totally unhinged, and have lost all levels of Confidence. It is a financial REVOLUTION, and they are being Crushed. MAGA!!!”
Meanwhile, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent confirmed on Sunday that negotiations in Geneva had made “substantial progress,” though he declined to elaborate on the specifics of any deal. He said a formal announcement would follow on Monday and emphasized that Trump had been briefed on the outcome of the discussions.
U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, who was present at the summit along with Bessent, Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng, and two vice ministers from China, characterized the developments as a meaningful breakthrough. “A deal we struck with our Chinese partners” will help curb the United States’ $1.2 trillion trade deficit in goods, he explained.
Greer added that the pace and tone of the discussions were encouraging. “And this was, as the secretary pointed out, a very constructive two days. It’s important to understand how quickly we were able to come to agreement, which reflects that perhaps the differences were not so large as maybe thought,” he said. He also described the Chinese delegation as “tough negotiators.”
This marked the first in-person encounter between Bessent, Greer, and He since the imposition of steep reciprocal tariffs—each country having levied duties exceeding 100% on a wide range of imports.
Although Bessent has previously indicated that the trade war had driven tariffs too high and that a reduction was needed to ease tensions, he stopped short of confirming any specific rollback measures and did not take questions following his remarks.
White House economic adviser Kevin Hassett also weighed in, noting Beijing’s strong desire to recalibrate its trading partnership with Washington. According to Hassett, who appeared on Fox News, additional trade agreements with other nations may be announced as early as this week.
Trump offered an optimistic assessment of the diplomatic exchange, suggesting that both parties had achieved a “fresh start” through cooperative dialogue.
“A very good meeting today with China, in Switzerland. Many things discussed, much agreed to,” he wrote on Truth Social, summarizing the outcome in positive terms and hinting that more updates may be on the horizon.
