The United States is not going to reduce tariffs on products from China unilaterally, White House Spokesperson Karoline Leavitt said, adding that Washington needs to see a reduction in tariffs and removal of trade barriers for the US, APA reports quoting TASS.
"Let me be clear, there will be no unilateral reduction in tariffs against China. The president has made it clear: China needs to make a deal with the United States of America. And we are optimistic that will happen," she said in an interview aired by the Fox News TV channel. "It will be up to the president what the tariff rate on China will be, but we certainly need to see a reduction in tariffs and tariff barriers from China," Leavitt said.
