Trump: China tariffs will remain for 'substantial period of time' even with deal
President Trump said Wednesday that he will maintain tariffs on Chinese imports even if he strikes a trade deal with Beijing.
Trump told reporters Wednesday that he will keep import taxes on billions in Chinese goods to make sure China complies with a potential agreement to reduce trade barriers.
“We’re not talking about removing them,” Trump said at the White House. “We’re talking about leaving them for a substantial period of time because we have to make sure that if we do the deal with China, that China lives by the deal.
“They’ve had a lot of problems living by certain deals and we have to make sure,” Trump continued.
