US slaps fresh tariffs on Chinese aluminium

Thats why Trump wanna re-join TPP so US can kill all none TPP nations :cool:
you need to check your IQ.
The US says it will slap tougher tariffs on Chinese aluminium alloy after an investigation into the trade.

The Commerce Department said the metal was being sold below cost or with government subsidies - making it impossible for US producers to compete.

Beijing has expressed "strong dissatisfaction" with the step and said China would pursue its legal rights.

The decision came as China's top economic advisor Liu He arrived in the US to discuss tensions over trade.

The duties will be levied on several Chinese firms - ranging from almost 50% to more than 100%.

But the decision still needs to be backed by the International Trade Commission (ITC), which is due to announce its decision by March 15.

The tariffs follow what Washington called an "historic" probe to push President Donald Trump's tough-on-trade agenda.

"This Administration is committed to trade that is fair and reciprocal, and we will not allow American workers and businesses to be harmed by unfair imports," Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross explained in a statement.

China's would take measures to protect its rights and interests, the country's Ministry of Commerce said.

The US investigation was launched in November last year, shortly after President Trump and US Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross visited China.

In 2016, imports of aluminium foil from China were valued at an estimated $389m (£280m), according to the Commerce Department.

And it said it had evidence that the imports pose a threat to US industry.

Under the Obama administration, the US complained to the World Trade Organisation about aluminium subsidies in China.

But the Trump administration has embraced a more go-it-alone approach.

In April last year, the Commerce Department launched a separate investigation into steel and aluminium imports on national security grounds.

You are one of the heinous trolls of the forum.
Time to take a break and breath some fresh air.
I would have you take a long rest from the forum if I were a moderator.

Read posts #11, 16 after you jumped up and down for a few minutes consequent to your first post. The whole world is 'witch-hunting" Trump. And the tariff on aluminum is only half of what he proposed for steel imports in which China is not even in the top 10 steel exporter to US.

BTW how did you celebrate "Holi" festival?

This is not CN forum, so u can not hide or try to delete CN bad economic news here.
 
It’s not only for China if it’s happen, Australia and few other countries in list as too, what Trump thinking to doing isn’t wise enough.

As expected, its purely for show, President Dotard is only very tough against his poor little "allies", when he is against China, he feels his serious bone spurs.:lol:
 
well, imposing a higher tariff to aluminum goes to everyone who export aluminum to US, isn't it?

In my opinion trump is helping china sercretly,he sounds like tougher than obama towards china but actually doing the opposite
 
I love new US regime.

The share of China's export of aluminum and steel is 2%. Key US allies such as Canada, Korea, and Japan's share is much much higher.

Hence, the Trump move won't effect China much. China has the world's greatest trade penetration. But the trade measures (if Dotard regime goes as it says) are really applied, that's great. It would send the US alliance regime into a certain turmoil.

Little lapdogs like Japan and SK have already began to whining.

As @leviathan says, China has been sitting back and enjoying the sight.

Dotard regime seems incapacitated and aimless, doing much with little effect.

This includes Mr. Putin's historical military slap and the prospects of President Xi's third term.
