Trump administration releases report accusing China of evading tariffs on goods entering the US
GeopoliticsMacro
The Trump administration on the 13th released a report accusing Chinese products of flowing into the United States via Asian countries and other routes. It expressed concern that around 40 countries and regions, including Mexico, Canada, and Japan, risk being involved in the influx of Chinese goods. The report noted that since tariffs on China were introduced under the first Trump administration, China has adapted by rapidly learning ways to circumvent tariffs, and it alleged that products are being illegally transshipped through countries with lower tariffs than China and exported to the United States. The move appears aimed at stepping up pressure ahead of a planned US-China summit next month.
