President Donald Trump might be ready with an additional list of $267 billion of Chinese goods to impose tariffs on.
On top of the $200 billion of Chinese goods that Trump has threatened to tax if he feels necessary, he told reporters Friday on Air Force One, ““I hate to do this, but behind that there is another $267 billion ready to go on short notice if I want.” The U.S.imported $505 billion of Chinese products in 2017, according to Census Bureau data. That means, if all of the tariff threats are actually implemented, the whole of Chinese imports into the nation would be hit by tariffs.
Since July, the U.S. has imposed levies on $50 billion of Chinese exports, which were retaliated by Beijing with their own tariffs on U.S. goods.
