According to a report by the Wall Street Journal on the 23rd, senior U.S. officials revealed that the Trump administration is considering a variety of options. In the first option, tariff rates on Chinese goods could be reduced to about 50%-65%. The second option, known as the “tiered approach,” would divide goods imported from China into goods that “do not pose a threat to U.S. national security” and those that are “strategically important to U.S. national interests.” U.S. media said that in the “tiered scheme”, the U.S. will impose tariffs of 35% on the former category of goods, and at least 100% on the second category of goods. White House press secretary Levitt said Trump’s stance on tariffs on China “has not softened.” (CCTV)
