President Biden's Tariff Hike on Chinese Imports

President Joe Biden is increasing tariffs on various Chinese imports, such as semiconductors, batteries, solar cells, and critical minerals, aiming to boost domestic manufacturing in key industries. This move marks Biden's significant update to tariffs on China initially imposed by former President Donald Trump. The strategy reflects a popular tough stance on trade with China among U.S. voters.
