Biden wants to triple tariffs.

Biden calls for a tripling of tariffs on Chinese steel as he makes economic pitch in Pittsburgh

Speaking from the United Steelworkers headquarters, Biden called on United States Trade Representative Katherine Tai to “consider tripling” the existing 7.5% tariff rate on Chinese steel and aluminum through a review of the Section 301 tariff rate, pending the conclusion of a four-year review.

Officials expect the ongoing review to be completed “soon,” and Tai could take action to “(enhance) the effectiveness” of the tariffs based on its findings, a senior official said.
