WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump warned on Monday he might increase tariffs on China beyond the 10% he imposed on Saturday and that “we will speak to China” probably over the next 24 hours.
He described the tariffs he placed on Chinese imports as an “opening salvo” in his drive for more balance in the U.S.-China trade relationship. He spoke to reporters in the Oval Office.
