On the campaign trail last year, President Donald Trump talked tough about imposing tariffs as high as 60% on Chinese goods and threatened to renew the trade war with China that he launched during his first term.

Donald Trump said he held a “very good” phone call with China’s President Xi Jinping, as the US-President elect prepares to return to the White House next week.

Donald Trump's commerce secretary nominee told his US Senate confirmation hearing Wednesday he favors "across-the-board" tariffs targeting countries rather than products, while signaling a hawkish China stance.
