A senior US official revealed that the Trump administration is considering various proposals. Under the first plan, the tariff rate on Chinese goods may be reduced to about 50%-65%. The second plan is called the “hierarchical plan,” and the US side will divide goods imported from China into so-called “products that do not pose a threat to US national security” and so-called “strategically significant to America's national interests.” The US media said that in the “hierarchical plan,” the US side will levy 35% tariffs on the first category of goods, and the tariff rate on the second category of goods is at least 100%. White House press secretary Levitt said that Trump's position on tariffs against China “has not softened.” (CCTV)
