Trump wants more tariffs on China. But why?
President Donald Trump is considering a 10% tariff on China as soon as February 1st, despite past threats to US trade partners. Leland Miller, co-founder and CEO of China Beige Book, joins Catalysts hosts Seana Smith and Madison Mills to discuss how tariffs are part of a broader strategy to restructure US-China economic relations. "What [does] the Trump administration want to do? They want to do a few things. They want to use tariffs for making deals and negotiating leverage, sure, that's part of it," Miller says. "But a larger part of what this administration is planning to do for the next four years is use tariffs to restructure economic relationships," he adds. Miller explains the complexities surrounding trade imbalances, China’s export practices, and the likelihood of escalating tensions leading to a trade war. Miller argues “there's too many exports coming out of China” and “not enough domestic demand to bring imports up," emphasizing that this imbalance could lead to global political friction.
