Trump Says He Will Impose 10% Tariffs on Chinese Imports on Feb. 1
Briefly

On Tuesday, President Trump revealed a plan to impose a 10 percent tariff on Chinese imports starting February 1, citing China's responsibility in the U.S. fentanyl crisis. This decision is seen as a continuation of his previous trade policies, which included tariffs on over $300 billion of Chinese imports. Trump's tariffs also targeting Canada and Mexico underscore a focus on drug-related concerns. Economists warn that these tariffs could provoke retaliation, sparking a global trade war that may hinder U.S. economic growth and raise inflation rates.
