At the table remains the threat of hurting all its imports with China at 10% tariffs, according to what the President said, pointing out that this could come next month. “We are talking about a 10% duty in China, based on the fact that they send fentanyl to Mexico and Canada,” Trump said during an event at the White House. “Probably 1 February is the date we are looking at,” Bloomberg says. Trump’s comments yesterday (21.1.25) – which come one day after leaving the second largest economy in the world outside the countries he wanted to target directly – suggest that any suspension of the implementation of threats against China can be short-lived.
