Geneva, Switzerland – The U.S.-China trade deal, finalized on May 11, 2025, in Geneva, slashes tariffs by 115%, with U.S. duties on Chinese goods dropping from 145% to 30% and China’s levies on American products falling from 125% to 10%, per whitehouse.gov []. The breakthrough, led by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, also advances fentanyl cooperation, per cnbc.com []. But a shocking revelation from the Chinese delegation about Biden’s negligence angers conservatives.
Bessent, speaking in a press conference flanked by American flags, revealed on May 11, “The Chinese delegation basically told us that once President Biden came into office, they just ignored their obligations,”. The video, viewed over 1.2 million times, exposes Biden’s failure to enforce the Phase One Agreement, a point criticized by House Republicans in 2023, per waysandmeans.house.gov []. China also agreed to remove non-tariff countermeasures, with both sides acting by May 13, per whitehouse.gov [], a win conservatives attribute to Trump’s tariff strategy.

Trump’s broader economic wins—$2 trillion in federal spending cuts, per whitehouse.gov [], and 88,763 deportations, per DHS []—underscore his leadership, especially as fentanyl deaths, down 10% since January, remain a crisis, per cdc.gov [].
The footage, with Bessent in a dark suit against a blue backdrop, highlights Trump’s negotiating prowess, contrasting sharply with Biden’s failures. As conservatives celebrate this milestone, they see it as proof that Trump’s America First policies are reshaping global trade, exposing Biden’s legacy as a disaster that only Trump could reverse.
