Trump weighs new tariff on China to counter cheap exports

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

President Donald Trump is reportedly considering a new 7.5% tariff on Chinese goods, aiming to penalize China for its high volume of cheap exports. This move is designed to avoid jeopardizing the existing trade truce and an anticipated meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping. The proposed tariff follows a Supreme Court decision that limited the administration's ability to impose broad tariffs, prompting a shift towards targeted investigations into unfair trade practices.
