Donald Trump Still Keen on New Tariffs on $200 Billion Chinese Goods
Notwithstanding recent news of a possible U.S.-China negotiation talk on the horizon, U.S. President Donald Trump might go ahead with fresh round of tariffs on China-made goods.
A Bloomberg article mentions that Trump met with his top trade advisers on Thursday and expressed his intent of slapping tariffs on an additional $200 billion of Chinese goods imported into the U.S., according to some people familiar with the matter. Not too long ago, there was news of U.S. Secretary Steven Mnuchin sending an invitation to China for talks to resolve the 'trade war' between the two nations.
The latest article also reports that when asked in the Thursday meeting whether he was concerned about the new tariffs’ effect on negotiations with China, Trump replied that he was not (as suggested by two people familiar with the matter, according to Bloomberg).
