U.S. stock futures and the dollar are both experiencing a decline. This comes as Asian markets rally following President Trump’s recent comments regarding tariffs on China.

Trump expressed a preference against increasing tariffs on Chinese imports, emphasizing that the potential for such measures provides the U.S. with significant leverage over Beijing. Although there have been no immediate changes to tariffs since his return to the White House, he has announced a commitment to impose a 25% tax on goods from Canada and Mexico.

• This tax is scheduled to take effect on February 1.
• The situation is unfolding amid ongoing discussions about trade relations.
• Economic strategies are also a key focus in these discussions.
