However, he gave no details. Earlier this month, Beijing presented a list of U.S. products worth around $50 billion that would face retaliatory taxes, including soybeans and beef. Targeting those products are a shot at people who support Trump in the more rural parts of America.
This decision to impose higher taxes on Chinese imports comes after his meeting with Kim Jong Un, leader of North Korea.
Questions from the American People:
- Are the proposed higher tariffs on Chinese good part of Trump’s overall plan to strengthen the U.S. economy? Or are they related to negotiations with North Korea? Is Trump and/or Kim Jong Un seeking to weaken China so that they won’t interfere in North Korea?
- Will China’s approach to targeting goods primarily produced in rural America be successful? Will conservatives turn against Trump?
