The Biden administration is imposing tariffs on Mexican imports containing Chinese steel or aluminum to prevent them from entering the U.S. duty-free. This move aims to address concerns about China circumventing existing tariffs by funneling metals through Mexico.
President Biden announced higher tariffs on $18 billion worth of products from China, including electric vehicles, steel, aluminum, lithium-ion batteries, and other products.
China strongly opposes U.S. investigation into its maritime, logistics, and shipbuilding industries, claiming it is based on discriminatory subsidies. The U.S. alleges China uses unfair practices to dominate these sectors. President Joe Biden has called for increased tariffs on Chinese steel and aluminum imports to protect American industries.
