Trump: I Can Reintroduce Tariffs in Another Form

Donald Trump stated that he has the right to reintroduce tariffs in a different form, after part of his tariffs were overturned by the Supreme Court. Trump announced that he has already begun moving in that direction, through trade investigations and the imposition of a general 10% tariff. The US has launched investigations into trade issues, examining potential shortcomings in addressing forced labor, which could justify new tariffs on 60 countries, including the EU, China, and Japan. China called on the US to “immediately correct its wrongdoings,” while a new round of talks between the two countries is underway. The new Sino-American talks could pave the way for Trump's visit to China in late March and early April, which has not yet been confirmed by Beijing.
