US president Donald Trump has threatened to hit China with 10 per cent tariffs on all imports as soon as 1 February, despite a “very good” call with Chinese president Xi Jinping.
On the first full day of his second presidency, Mr Trump said the tariffs on China were still on the table in remarks to reporters at the White House. His comments came even after Mr Trump refrained from mentioning China as one of the countries he was looking to target immediately.
