Trump weighing 10% tariff on China trade imports
January 22, 2025 - U.S. President Donald Trump has said he is considering imposing a 10% tariff on imports of Chinese-made goods as soon as February 1.
Trump said discussions with his administration were "based on the fact that they're sending fentanyl to Mexico and Canada".
It followed threats by Trump to levy import taxes of 25% on Mexico and Canada, accusing them of allowing undocumented migrants and drugs to come into the US.
In a press conference in Washington on Tuesday, Trump also vowed to hit the European Union with tariffs, the BBC said.
