US President Donald Trump's administration plans to use ongoing tariff negotiations to pressure US trading partners to limit their dealings with China, the Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday, citing people familiar with the talks.
US officials plan to use negotiations with more than 70 countries to urge them to stop China from shipping goods through their countries, and to prevent Chinese firms from setting up shop in their territories to avoid US tariffs, the WSJ report further said.
President Trump has increased tariffs on Chinese goods to 145%, while suspending them for 90 days for other countries that had higher tariffs on the US.
China has also imposed a 125% tariff on the US, following the Trump administration's increase in tariffs on it.
