Trump says he’ll decide on China tariffs after G-20 summit

Published



President Trump said Thursday that he would make a decision on whether to impose 25% tariffs on $300 billion of Chinese goods after the G-20 summit in Japan at the end of the month. Trump is scheduled to have a face-to-face meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping at the meeting.

“I will make that decision, I would say, over the next few weeks, probably right after the G-20,” Trump said during a visit to France Thursday to attend the 75th anniversary of D-Day. “One way or another I’ll make that decision after the G20. I’ll be meeting with President Xi and we will see what happens.”
