Biden Implements Major Tariff Hikes on Chinese Imports

  • Tariffs on semiconductors, lithium batteries, solar cells, and steel and aluminum will also see significant increases.
  • The measures aim to safeguard over $800 billion in U.S. investments in clean energy and technology.
  • Biden's administration argues the tariffs are necessary to level the playing field for American manufacturers.
  • China has criticized the tariffs, warning they could escalate trade tensions and harm global economic cooperation.
