'Bad visuals': GOP strategist warns  Trump over move that 'could hurt him pretty severely'

President Donald Trump signaled that he was open to sharply reducing his tariffs against China ahead of trade talks this weekend.

American and Chinese negotiators will meet over the weekend in Switzerland, and Trump posted Friday morning on Truth Social that 80 percent tariffs – a 65 percent reduction in the current 145 percent tariffs against Chinese imports – just "seems right," and Republican strategist Doug Heye said the president was reacting to political fallout from his trade war.
