A Senate Democrat called on President Joe Biden to repeal tariffs put in place by the Trump administration, saying they haven’t significantly changed China’s trade practices and are contributing to high prices for Americans.
US Senator Tim Kaine of Virginia said Biden “can and must act now” and “pursue a broad range of solutions” to tackle US inflation that’s running at a 40-year high. Biden said in June he was considering possible action on US tariffs on China.
