Trump Expects to Move Ahead With Boost on China Tariffs
President, in interview, calls it ‘highly unlikely’ that U.S. would hold off on increase to 25% on $200 billion of goods
WASHINGTON—President Trump, days before a summit with China’s leader, said he expects to move ahead with boosting tariff levels on $200 billion of Chinese goods to 25%, calling it “highly unlikely” that he would accept Beijing’s request to hold off on the increase.
NEW YORK -- U.S. President Donald Trump's chief economic adviser, Larry Kudlow, said Tuesday that the U.S. is open to a trade deal with China when the two country's leaders meet this week, but the administration is disappointed in what has been offered so far.
