President Donald Trump on Friday said that he has asked China to "immediately remove all tariffs" on American agricultural products, in return for his decision to postpone a March 1 deadline that would have dramatically raised U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports.
Trump made the request "based on the fact that we are moving along nicely with trade discussions," he said. The president called in particular for Beijing to lift its levies on products such as beef and pork.
On Sunday, Trump announced that he would delay the additional tariffs that were scheduled to go into effect at the beginning of March and would have more than doubled levies from 10 percent to 25 percent on $200 billion in Chinese goods. The president has not announced a new deadline for that round of tariffs.
