United States Vice President JD Vance slammed DC insiders for pushing conflict with China while relying on Beijing for critical supplies.

In his X post Vance said, "There is a category of DC insider who wants to fight an actual war with China but also wants China to manufacture much of our critical supply. This is insane."

"President Trump wants peace but also wants fair trade and more self-reliance for the American economy," he further added in the post.


US President Donald Trump on Wednesday announced a 90-day pause on his sweeping “reciprocal tariff” plan, offering brief relief to rattled markets. But the move came with a twist — tariffs on Chinese goods were raised from 104% to 125%, signaling a sharp escalation in the ongoing trade showdown with Beijing.
