Trump Signals Possible New China Tariffs Within Weeks

Former U.S. President Donald Trump said he may decide within the next two to three weeks whether to impose additional tariffs on Chinese imports, signaling the possibility of a further escalation in trade tensions between Washington and Beijing. Trump did not specify the scope or rate of the prospective duties. The remarks come four months after the United States implemented a widely publicized 145% tariff on a broad range of Chinese goods on April 9, 2025, a move that has already strained bilateral relations.
