By early December, the U.S. is preparing to announce an increase on proposed tariffs for all remaining Chinese imports if talks between presidents Donald Trump and Xi Jinping fail to ease the trade war, according to a Bloomberg report. If Trump fails to reach an agreement with Xi, not only would there be new rounds of tariffs on all imports from China—but prior tariffs on $200 billion in goods would rise from 10 percent to 25 percent on Jan. 1, 2018, Bloomberg added.
