In a defiant statement, President Donald Trump declared that “no other President would have done what I did,” defending his sweeping trade actions against China. Speaking about his decision to impose 125% tariffs on Chinese imports, Trump said the move was necessary to halt what he called an “unsustainable” economic imbalance. He claimed China made $1 trillion off U.S. trade last year, but “now I’ve reversed it.” His remarks come amid global market turbulence and ongoing fallout over the administration’s trade war escalation.
