Donald Trump plans to persuade more than 70 countries to join a new U.S. economic strategy aimed at isolating China. According to The Wall Street Journal, the administration is offering partners partial or full removal of American tariffs in exchange for commitments to restrict economic cooperation with China.

The initiative aims to force Beijing back to the negotiating table under Washington’s terms. The main focus is expected to be on high-tech sectors: semiconductors, electronics, critical minerals, and defense components.

Following the news about Trump’s plans, Beijing expressed its readiness for negotiations but with a reservation: the Chinese side demands respect and the appointment of an official representative for the talks. This statement was seen as a signal of possible de-escalation, albeit under strict conditions from China.

Markets reacted positively to the reports: U.S. stock indexes recorded growth, anticipating a potential easing of tensions between the two largest economies.

Details of the proposed plan have not yet been disclosed, but observers note that the strategy of an economic coalition against China will become a key element of U.S. foreign economic policy in the coming years.
