“The $200 billion figure we’re looking at is roughly equal to their exports to us,” a senior administration official said.
The tariffs will not go into effect immediately but will undergo a two-month review process, with hearings Aug. 20-23.
Some of the products on the list facing tariffs are from Made in China 2025 sectors, the official said.
