WASHINGTON—Nearly three dozen of the nation’s most influential business groups—representing retailers, chip makers, farmers and others —are calling on the Biden administration to restart negotiations with China and cut tariffs on imports, saying they are a drag on the U.S. economy.
The tariffs on electronics, apparel and other Chinese goods, which are paid by U.S. importers, were kept in place in part to ensure that China fulfills its obligations under its 2020 Phase One trade pact with the U.S. In a Thursday letter to U.S. Trade Representative Katherine Tai and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, the business groups contend that Beijing had met “important benchmarks and commitments” in the agreement, including opening markets to U.S. financial institutions and reducing some regulatory barriers to U.S. agricultural exports to China.
“A worker-centered trade agenda should account for the costs that U.S. and Chinese tariffs impose on Americans here and at home and remove tariffs that harm U.S. interests,” the letter said, referring to the administration’s policy to make worker interests a priority. Spokesmen for the U.S. trade representative’s office and Treasury didn’t immediately respond to requests for comments.
Just keep ignoring the viruses they keep infecting the world with? 🤥
'A coalition of influential business groups' ? That's needs explaining.
Are you sure China won't violate the trade deal?
The tariffs on China should increase monthly for two years, and then all imports from China should be banned. We’re feeding the dog that wants to bite us.
Does that mean US lose the trade war with China?
One word: traitors. Words for you: colliding with traitors. Shame.
We need to raise tariffs on everything China .
Joe will do it. Anything for the wealthy.
