WASHINGTON/BEIJING – Former U.S. President Donald Trump indicated that he was in no rush to engage in discussions with Chinese President Xi Jinping, despite an intensifying tariff war between the two global economic powers. The U.S. had imposed higher tariffs on Chinese imports, citing unfair trade practices, while China retaliated with its tariffs on American goods. The trade war increased economic uncertainty, affecting global markets, businesses, and workers dependent on international trade.

  • Economies and Livelihoods: Pray for businesses, workers, and families affected by the economic consequences of trade wars, that their needs would be met and opportunities restored (The Bible, Philippians 4:19).
  • Trade Relations Among Nations: Pray that global leaders will pursue just and fair trade relations that benefit all people and foster cooperation rather than conflict (The Bible, Proverbs 11:1).
