U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer was mocked on social media for insisting during a CNN interview Monday evening that China "caused" the pain Americans felt from last month's explosive tariffs.
Early Monday morning, it was announced that over the weekend Chinese and American officials had reached a 90-day agreement to pause their retaliatory tariffs. The U.S. tariff on Chinese goods was reduced from 145% to 30% and China's taxes on U.S. imports was cut from 125% to 10%, NBC News reported.
