Joe Biden says he won’t lift tariffs on Chinese imports since Beijing hasn’t abided by phase one trade deal


US President Joe Biden said on Wednesday that he was not yet ready to remove Trump-era tariffs on Chinese goods because Beijing has not lived up to its promises under the phase one trade deal signed two years ago.

“I’d like to be able to be in a position where I can say they’re meeting the commitments, more than the commitments, to be able to lift something, but we’re not there yet,” Biden said at a White House press conference.
