PAINTED INTO A CORNER — Since he ran for president in 2020, President Joe Biden and his team have promised to rethink the tariffs that his predecessor imposed on China.

Now, after years of debate and delay, they may have little choice but to double down on Trump’s approach.

Trump, you’ll remember, imposed tariffs on more than $300 billion worth of imports from China back in 2018. Biden came to office promising to replace that brute-force approach with a more nuanced one.

Bloomberg - Are you a robot?

President Joe Biden’s administration is poised to unveil a sweeping decision on China tariffs as soon as next week, one that’s expected to target key strategic sectors while rejecting the across-the-board hikes sought by Donald Trump, people familiar with the matter said.

Tariffs must be polling great again!

Biden pushes EV down Americans throats. Biden places tariffs on the country that has a monopoly on EV battery materials.

Let me guess, it takes effect following the election so as to blame the republicans.

Nothing like actually doing something in an election year, that could of been done on day one. Fuck the Marxists/Demofascists, and their stupid ass voters.

Protectionism is good, especially when you're protecting American jobs and consumers. MAGA

Fighting currency manipulation is good. Protectionism is bad.
