Trump talks up tariffs before hitting China again

Published September 17, 2018 11:17am ET



President Trump on Monday talked up the idea of more tariffs against unfair imports, on the same day his administration was expected to hit another $200 billion worth of Chinese imports with tariffs.

“Tariffs have put the U.S. in a very strong bargaining position, with Billions of Dollars, and Jobs, flowing into our Country – and yet cost increases have thus far been almost unnoticeable,” he tweeted. “If countries will not make fair deals with us, they will be ‘Tariffed!'”
