Trump decided to double the rates of tariff on Chinese products last month just after the new retaliation of Beijing in the trade war before settling on a minor increase. He became irritated when he came to know that China is going to slap tariffs on United States products having worth of $75 billion in a reaction to latest tariffs from the U.S. on 1st September.
Mnuchin and Lighthizer warned about the impact of the move
The United States Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin enlisted several CEOs to call Donald Trump and notify him about the influence of the above mentioned move on the stock market as well as on the economy. Finally, he settled on a five percent rise in tariff rates on Chinese products worth of around $550 billion, and he announced on 23rd August in his tweet after the close of the market.
During those days, both press secretary of White House Stephanie Grisham and Mnuchin said that the only regret of Trump was not increasing duty much higher. Moreover, in the start of this month, Mnuchin said the United States and China have a theoretical settlement on enforcement concerns, highlighting positive progress already done in trade talks, which expected to resume next month at high levels. Also, he stated the warning that President Trump did not have any problem for enforcing big tariffs on China if an agreement could not done from the Chinese side.
