Chinese Companies Turn to Mexico Amid U.S. Tariffs

The COVID-19 pandemic almost instantly threw a multi-year wrench into global supply chains — and highlighted the advantages of more compact logistics operations. For many U.S. companies, that has meant reshoring manufacturing operations from lower-wage nations back to the States. But for manufacturers in China who want to keep a foothold in the North American market, it means finding a way to get its operations closer to their end-markets.

U.S. and Japan Reach an Agreement to Remove Trump-Era Steel Tariffs

The U.S. and Japan reached a truce that will allow most steel shipments from the Asian nation to enter tariff-free for the first time since 2018 and sees the countries working together to combat Chinese trade practices that harm the industry. Washington will suspend the 25% levy on incoming steel imports from Japan up to 1.25 million metric tons a year, officials from the Commerce Department and U.S. Trade Representative's office told reporters on Monday.

U.S.-China Goods Trade Booms as If Virus, Tariffs Never Happened

China and the U.S. are shipping goods to each other at the briskest pace in years, making the world’s largest bilateral trade relationship look as if the protracted tariff war and pandemic never happened.

Eighteen months after the Trump administration signed the trade deal, the agreement has turned out to be a truce at best. The U.S. trade deficit hasn’t shrunk, most levies are still in place, and it hasn’t led to negotiations over other economic issues.

In a split decision on Tuesday July 13, the three-judge panel overturned a US Court of International Trade (CIT) ruling that put a time limit on presidential tariff authority under Section 232.
