Trump says 'total reset negotiated' with China during tariff talks in Geneva

Trump's announcement and supporting statements use false cause to link tariffs directly with job losses in China and gains in the U.S., without providing a clear causal mechanism or accounting for complex market factors. The phrase "GREAT PROGRESS MADE!!!" serves as an appeal to emotion, aimed at conveying confidence absent verifiable outcomes. Treasury Secretary Bessent’s claims that tariffs could cause China to lose “up to 10 million jobs” rely on ambiguous estimates, invoking the ambiguity fallacy. Language like "the onus will be on them" and “total reset” reflects biased language that simplifies complex negotiations into a narrative of unilateral advantage. The tone projects certainty where actual outcomes remain undefined.
