On Up First, NPR's Asma Khalid says it's diplomatically tough for Biden to roll back those Trump-era tariffs, even though some Democrats warned at the time that they could hurt the American economy. That's because China hasn't improved trade practices, so there isn't incentive for Biden to change course - especially in an election year.
Industries affected by tariffs also tend to get used to them and operate with them baked into their plans, an Obama-era U.S. trade representative tells Khalid.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken arrived in Kyiv today. Blinken is expected to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and emphasize Washington's commitment to Ukraine as Russia steps up its attacks.
