In a recent development reported by the Wall Street Journal, U.S. senior officials disclosed that the administration is exploring various strategies regarding tariffs on Chinese imports. One of the primary proposals suggests a significant reduction of the tariff rate to between 50%-65% on select goods. Additionally, the administration is considering a “tiered plan”, which would differentiate imported goods based on their perceived national security risk. This plan categorizes imports into two distinct groups: those deemed non-threatening and those that hold strategic significance to U.S. interests. Reports indicate that the former category could face a 35% tariff, while the latter may encounter a staggering minimum 100% tariff. White House Press Secretary Levitt affirmed that the President’s position on tariffs related to China remains firm, indicating no signs of easing the current trade stance.
