    Tesla on US–China trade deal outlook
    $TSLA
    • Former Ambassador Burns views the recent rare earth metals agreement as a positive step but believes a full comprehensive US–China trade deal remains distant, possibly only achievable in autumn after another one to three months of negotiations.
    • Key sectoral tariffs implemented by the US include 100% on Chinese EVs, 50% on semiconductors, and 25% on lithium batteries, and these are unlikely to be removed soon due to concerns over China dumping excess products.
    • The US’s high tariffs on allies like the EU, Japan, and South Korea undermine potential coalition leverage against China, as these partners share similar trade concerns but lack incentive to join US-led talks.
    • TikTok divestiture is expected to be addressed on the margins of broader trade negotiations, with Chinese government approval making it integral to any final deal.

    • Wind and solar projects face a shortened timeframe for tax-credit eligibility and may incur an additional tax unless they decouple supply chains from China.
