Chuck Schumer Slams Deal as Markets Soar and Tariffs Drop
President Donald J. Trump’s America First economic strategy just scored another victory — even as liberal critics scramble to spin it as a loss.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) attacked the latest U.S.-China trade deal, claiming Beijing “got the better” of President Trump after officials from both nations reached a breakthrough agreement to ease economic tensions.
“Unfortunately, it appears China has once again outmaneuvered President Trump. This is just the latest example of the unpredictability surrounding his administration,” Schumer said in a post on X (formerly Twitter).
But while Schumer plays politics, the real numbers tell a different story — and they’re good news for everyday Americans.
90-Day Tariff Suspension Brings Relief to U.S. Workers and Consumers
U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer announced the agreement with Chinese officials over the weekend. The deal pauses escalating tariffs for 90 days, giving both sides critical time to work toward a long-term solution that protects American industries.
Under the agreement:
- U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports drop from 145% to 30%
- China slashes duties on American goods from 125% to just 10%
This mutual de-escalation is expected to reduce costs for American families, protect U.S. jobs, and bring stability to key industries like agriculture, manufacturing, and technology.
Wall Street Responds: Stock Market Rallies on Trump’s Economic Diplomacy
In response to the announcement, the Dow Jones Industrial Average soared nearly 1,000 points — a massive 2.2% gain.
The S&P 500 climbed 2.5%, and the NASDAQ surged 3.4%, with tech and industrial stocks leading the charge.
This stock market rally reflects growing investor confidence in the Trump administration’s approach to trade and economic growth.
Trump Delivers Results While Democrats Criticize From the Sidelines
While left-wing voices like Chuck Schumer continue to criticize, President Trump is delivering results where it counts: lower tariffs, rising markets, and a stronger economy for American workers and retirees.
Once again, the liberal media and Washington elites underestimate Trump’s ability to negotiate from strength. But everyday Americans — especially seniors who rely on a strong economy for their retirement security — are seeing the benefits.
America First means American Prosperity.
