The report on China’s gross domestic product was released as the U.S. took stock of the latest inflation figures, which showed that Trump’s tariffs were starting to push up prices. Prices of the products most exposed to tariffs, like household furnishings, jumped significantly in June.

China reported a better-than-expected economic growth as the world’s second largest economy took advantage of a trade truce with the US amid President Donald Trump’s tariff offensive.

China accounted for 5.89% of all U.S. trade in May, its lowest percentage in decades. Trump’s tariffs or trade trickery? It’s hard to dispute it’s a remarkable shift.
