In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, President Donald Trump said he’ll likely push forward with plans to increase tariffs on $200 billion of Chinese goods, if negotiations with China’s leader Xi Jinping fail to produce a trade deal when they meet at the Group of 20 meeting in Argentina, which starts Nov. 30. He is also prepared to impose tariffs on a final batch of $267 billion of Chinese shipments. The rate could be either 10 percent or 25 percent.
