President Joe Biden’s trade chief said that she expects a conclusion on a review of tariffs on more than $300 billion in Chinese goods “soon,” and that the administration has been looking at ways to make them more strategic and effective.
Biden has kept in place the tariffs inherited from Donald Trump for “strategic purposes” and sees them as effective leverage in dealing with Beijing, US Trade Representative Katherine Tai said in an interview with Bloomberg Television’s Annmarie Hordern and Jonathan Ferro on Friday.
