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.
