Trump issues fresh tariff threats against EU, China
US President Donald Trump on Tuesday vowed to hit the European Union with tariffs, saying his administration was discussing a 10 percent punitive duty on Chinese imports because fentanyl is being sent from China via Mexico and Canada.
Trump stated this while interacting with newsmen at the White House a day after taking office without immediately imposing tariffs as he had promised during his campaign.
Trump said the EU and other countries also had troubling trade surpluses with the United States.
“The European Union is very, very bad to us. So they’re going to be in for tariffs. It’s the only way you’re going to get fairness,” he said.
DAILY POST reports that Trump on Monday said that he was considering imposing the duties on Canada and Mexico unless they clamped down on the trafficking of illegal migrants and fentanyl, including precursor chemicals from China, across their U.S. borders.
The newly inaugurated US president had previously threatened a 10 percent duty on Chinese imports because of the trade, but realigned that with the February 1 deadline.
China said it was willing to maintain communication with the US to properly handle differences and expand mutually beneficial cooperation.
The China, through its foreign ministry said sought to promote stable and sustainable ties with the US.
“We always believe that there is no winner in a trade war or tariff war. China will always firmly safeguard its national interests,” ministry spokesperson Mao Ning told reporters at a regular press briefing on Wednesday.
White House trade adviser, Peter Navarro, said that Trump’s Canada and Mexico tariff threat was to pressure the two countries to stop illegal migrants and illicit drugs from entering the US.
