Leibowitz on Trade: Are Section 301 Tariffs on China Here to Stay?

The White House announced earlier this month, to no one’s surprise, that hundreds of companies and trade associations had expressed interest in continuing Section 301 tariffs on Chinese goods.

These expressions related only to the tariffs on $34 billion and $16 billion in trade value, the so-called “List 1” and “List 2” tariffs. The Office of the US Trade Representative is still evaluating comments on “List 3” and “List 4” tariffs, covering $200 billion and $126 billion, respectively.
