Trump Turns Up Trade Pressure on China After Beijing Fails to Come Running

Published On Mar 3, 2025, 5:03 AM

President Trump has threatened to impose a new 10% tariff on all Chinese imports, which would add to existing tariffs. This move comes as negotiations with China remain stalled, and the Chinese government is cautious in how it engages with the U.S. amidst these trade tensions. While Canada and Mexico have taken significant steps to address U.S. concerns about drug trafficking, China has not made similar overtures. The situation reflects the unpredictability of Trump's trade policy and how it impacts U.S.-China relations.
