President Donald Trump is preparing to release a list of an additional $200 billion in Chinese products to be hit with tariffs, according to two people familiar with the matter.
The list could be released as soon as Tuesday, and likely this week, according to the people, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the matter isn’t public. The publication of the list starts a weeks-long process that includes a public-comment period and hearings.
Stock futures fell and yields on 10-year Treasuries declined on concern of a widening trade war.
The Trump administration on July 6 imposed 25 percent duties on $34 billion in Chinese imports, the first time the president has implemented tariffs directly on Beijing after threatening to do so for months. China immediately retaliated with duties on the same value of U.S. goods, including soybeans and cars.
The U.S. is currently considering levying duties on a further $16 billion in Chinese goods, after a public hearing later this month. China has vowed to retaliate dollar-for-dollar to any further U.S. tariffs.
The new list would mark the latest escalation of the trade war between the world’s two biggest economies. Financial markets have so far shrugged off the first round of tariffs, which were long-telegraphed, with U.S. stocks up since Friday.
The press offices for the U.S. Trade Representative’s office and White House didn’t immediately comment when Bloomberg News contacted them.
Broad Upswing
The International Monetary Fund has warned that a full-blown trade war could undermine the broadest global upswing in years.
Trump last month asked the U.S. Trade Representative’s office to identify $200 billion of Chinese goods that could be hit with 10 percent tariffs. Since then, the president has said his administration could impose duties on virtually all Chinese imports into the U.S.
Industry would be given time to comment on any new levies before they take effect.
Trump has been considering tariffs against China since his officials concluded in March that Beijing violates U.S. intellectual-property rights, such as by forcing American firms to hand over technology.
以下狗翻：
据两位知情人士透露，唐纳德特朗普总统正准备公布一份额外2000亿美元的中国产品清单。
据不愿透露姓名的人说，该名单可能会在周二发布，也可能在本周发布，因为此事不公开。该名单的公布开始了为期数周的过程，其中包括公众评论期和听证会。
由于贸易战扩大，股票期货下跌，10年期国债收益率下跌。
特朗普政府于7月6日对中国进口的340亿美元征收25%的关税，这是总统第一次直接对北京实施关税，此前几个月威胁要这样做。中国立即对包括大豆和汽车在内的美国商品的价值征收关税。
在本月晚些时候举行公开听证会后，美国目前正在考虑对另外160亿美元的中国商品征收关税。中国已经发誓要以美元对美元的任何进一步的关税进行报复。
新名单将标志着世界两大经济体之间贸易战的最新升级。到目前为止，金融市场摆脱了第一轮关税，这是长期电报，美国股市自周五以来上涨。
当彭博新闻联系他们时，美国贸易代表办公室和白宫的新闻办公室没有立即发表评论。
广泛的上升
国际货币基金组织警告称，全面的贸易战可能会破坏多年来最广泛的全球经济增长。
特朗普上个月要求美国贸易代表办公室确定2000亿美元的中国商品，这些商品可能会被征收10%的关税。从那时起，总统就表示他的政府可以对几乎所有中国进口产品征收关税。
行业将有时间对任何新的征税进行评论，然后才能生效。
特朗普一直在考虑对中国征收关税，因为他的官员在3月份宣布，北京侵犯了美国的知识产权，例如迫使美国公司交出技术。
