President Trump is considering taking trade actions against China, Reuters reported Wednesday.
Three senior administration officials told Reuters that the president is considering putting an import tariff on Chinese steel.
Trump repeatedly blasted Chinese trade policy during his presidential campaign, and has recently expressed frustration with China’s handling of North Korea.
The U. S. has repeatedly pressured Beijing to exert its influence over North Korea over its nuclear program.
Trump tweeted his frustration with the situation last week, saying “while I greatly appreciate the efforts of President Xi & China to help with North Korea, it has not worked out. At least I know China tried!”
Trump appeared optimistic on Chinese relations with North Korea, which depends on China for much of its energy, after he hosted Chinese President Xi Jinping in April at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Fla.
