A veteran adviser to President-elect Donald Trump is proposing that the 60% tariffs Trump has vowed to impose on Chinese goods also apply to goods from any country that pass through a new port built by Beijing in Peru. The proposal further extends to any China-owned port in Latin America. This move aligns with Trump's previously stated intentions to implement harsh tariffs on Chinese goods during his second term.
