Biden says he won't immediately remove U.S. tariffs on China

Details: “I’m not going to make any immediate moves, and the same applies to the tariffs,” Biden said. He plans to conduct a full review of the current U.S. policy on China and speak with key allies in Asia and Europe to “develop a coherent strategy,” he said.

“The best China strategy, I think, is one which gets every one of our — or at least what used to be our — allies on the same page. It’s going to be a major priority for me in the opening weeks of my presidency to try to get us back on the same page with our allies.”

Biden told NYT columnist Thomas Friedman he didn’t think the U.S. yet had the “leverage” in dealing with China. Getting bipartisan consensus in America on “government-led investments in American research and development, infrastructure and education” would achieve this.
