April 11, 2025 — Former U.S. President Donald Trump made it clear on Thursday that he is “not getting off the hook” when it comes to U.S. tariffs on electronics, despite a noticeable jump in China’s exports for March.
Speaking at a campaign rally, Trump reiterated his firm stance on maintaining tough trade measures against China, emphasizing that protecting American manufacturing and technology industries remains a priority. “We will not back down. Tariffs stay until we get a fair deal,” Trump declared.
His comments come as new data showed China’s exports rose sharply in March, signaling resilience in its trade sector despite ongoing tariffs and global economic uncertainties. Electronics and machinery contributed significantly to the export boost, raising concerns among U.S. manufacturers and trade analysts.
The issue of tariffs is expected to become a central topic in Trump’s 2025 campaign as he seeks to rally support around his “America First” trade policy. Market watchers are closely monitoring developments, as any shifts in trade dynamics could impact global supply chains and tech markets.
Further updates are anticipated as Trump outlines more detailed trade policies in the coming weeks.
