The US is weighing a 7.5% tariff on Chinese goods over excess manufacturing capacity concerns, which would bring second-term China tariffs to about 20%. Final rates are not set. The move precedes a September 24 Trump-Xi summit, and both sides are negotiating a trade truce extension before the November 10 expiry.

BREAKING: Trump is set to impose a new 7.5% tariff on Chinese goods, raising the U.S. baseline tariff on China to 20%, per Bloomberg
What makes this interesting is the timing: the move comes just one month before Trump’s September 24 meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
China has also imposed retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods, raising the stakes heading into the talks.
