Trump is saying he's going to ramp up tariffs on Chinese goods. Complains trade talks not moving fast enough. This just before a large Chinese delegation is due to come to Washington to wrap up talks.
"For 10 months, China has been paying Tariffs to the USA of 25% on 50 Billion Dollars of High Tech, and 10% on 200 Billion Dollars of other goods. These payments are partially responsible for our great economic results. The 10% will go up to 25% on Friday. 325 Billion Dollars of additional goods sent to us by China remain untaxed, but will be shortly, at a rate of 25%."
