Donald Trump famously and proudly declared himself Tariff Man during his presidency, and in his 2024 campaign has promised more import taxes if he is elected. But this week — if all goes as expected and first reported by Bloomberg — President Joe Biden is seizing the moniker.

Biden’s anticipated refocusing of Trump tariffs first rolled out in 2018 to target Chinese electric vehicles will mark yet another escalation in the US trade relationship with China.
