U.S. Treasury Secretary's Remarks: Scott Bessent stated that China's yuan presents a greater challenge for Europe than for the U.S., as it has weakened significantly against the euro while remaining stable against the dollar.
Impact on Trade: U.S. tariffs have reduced America's trade deficit with China by 14% this year, while China's trade with Europe has increased by nearly 7%, contributing to a widening EU trade deficit due to the yuan's depreciation against the euro.
