\u0026 # x27; This week Trump charges against China \u0026 # x27;

washington - The US President Donald Trump is expected to announce this week up to $ 60 billion in import duties on Chinese products. That's what insiders told the White House.

The charges would be announced on Friday. According to the sources, they are mainly focused on technology, telecommunications and other products of Chinese manufacture and there are also restrictions on Chinese investments in the United States. The Trump government accuses China of stealing US corporate information for its own gain. Probably there will be a period in which objections can be made against the levies before they actually take effect.

China has previously announced that it will take countermeasures with US import duties. Chinese Prime Minister Li Keqiang said Tuesday that his country just wants to set up the door for free trade and that import duties will be reduced. Beijing will also protect intellectual property, according to the prime minister.
