This executive order from President Trump aims to increase tariffs on Chinese imports in response to China’s retaliatory measures following the imposition of tariffs on Chinese goods in accordance with Executive Order 14257. It specifically targets low-value imports and de minimis duty-free treatment, which are expected to have significant impacts on both American consumers and businesses that rely on these goods. The order also increases duties on certain products imported from China, including pharmaceuticals, medical equipment, and technology products, among others. Overall, the order is intended to further deter Chinese imports and reduce America’s trade deficit with China while protecting American businesses and consumers from unfair competition.
