US businesses ‘questioning’ Trump’s trade tactics

Sky News contributor Bruce Wolpe says businesses in the US are urging for an end to the trade war with China, as concerns are raised about the impact a fresh wave of tariffs will have on popular consumer goods. “Big business really want the president to retreat and wants different types of engagements with China in order to get a solution,” Mr Wolpe told Sky News. America is poised to impose a 15 per cent tariff on a raft of Chinese imports on Sunday, including popular consumer goods like televisions and smartphones. The move is part of President Trump’s plan to impose $300 billion worth of tariffs on Chinese goods by the end of 2019, with Beijing vowing to retaliate by imposing its own tariffs against US goods.
