Trump preps tariffs to punish China for Pandemic

President Donald Trump is standing up to China’s increasingly bellicose and dangerous policies. The world is suffering through economic hardship caused by COVID-19. The coronavirus pandemic has shuttered economic activity around the globe. It is a direct result of China’s lies. The Chinese Communist Party totalitarians hid the truth. Then in Machiavellian ways secretly bought up critical medical equipment—depriving the rest of the world of needed supplies.

China should pay a price for its reckless, self-serving policy.

And President Donald Trump is working to make that happen.

The Trump administration is ‘turbocharging’ an initiative to remove global industrial supply chains from China as it weighs new tariffs to punish Beijing for its handling of the coronavirus outbreak,” according to Reuters.
