U.S. media reports that the United States is considering imposing an additional 7.5% tariff on Chinese goods

According to a report by Nikkei Chinese Network citing Bloomberg on August 24, the Trump administration is considering imposing an additional 7.5% tariff on goods imported from China, a move seen as a countermeasure against China's overcapacity. If this tariff is implemented, combined with previously imposed tariffs, the total tax rate will reach 20%, returning to the level before the U.S. Supreme Court ruled the Trump tariffs invalid in February of this year.

The report states that in July, the Trump administration imposed additional tariffs of 10% or 12.5% on China and 59 other countries and regions based on Article 301 of the Trade Act, citing their inadequate response to forced labor issues; at the same time, it had also considered imposing tariffs on China, Japan, and 14 other countries and regions regarding the issue of overcapacity. The U.S. claims that China's surplus products are eroding the American market, to which China has rebutted.
