US President Donald Trump has said he is considering imposing a 10% tariff on imports of Chinese-made goods as soon as 1 February.
Trump said discussions with his administration were “based on the fact that they’re sending fentanyl to Mexico and Canada.”
It followed threats by Trump to levy import taxes of 25% on Mexico and Canada, accusing them of allowing undocumented migrants and drugs to come into the US.
On his first day in office, the new president also instructed federal agencies to conduct a review of existing trade deals and identify unfair practices by US trading partners.
