U.S. Trade Representative Katherine Tai told the Wall Street Journal that the U.S. isn’t ready to lift tariffs on Chinese imports in the near future, but might be open to trade negotiations with Beijing.
Said Tai: “I have heard people say, ‘Please just take these tariffs off.’ But yanking off tariffs could harm the economy unless the change is communicated in a way so that the actors in the economy can make adjustments.”
