The Biden administration is considering removing former President Trump’s tariffs on China as Biden struggles to choose between taming runaway inflation or pleasing allies in organized labor.

“No decision has been made,” a White House spokesperson said. “The President is discussing with his team on ensuring that tariffs are aligned with our economic and strategic priorities, such as safeguarding the interests of workers and critical industries, advancing our national security, and not unnecessarily raising costs on Americans.”

Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo, meanwhile, has focused her arguments on messaging — that its good politics to cut tariffs even if the actual impact on inflation is not that large. The conversations are part of a year-old debate over how to handle Trump’s trade legacy with China, which the Biden administration has retained largely unchanged since taking office. Since last summer, the Treasury and Commerce Departments have pushed Biden to lift at least some of the tariffs, along with a host of multinational corporations. But they’ve been met with opposition from organized labor and the Office of the U.S.
