President Biden’s administration has eliminated United States tariffs on more than 350 products made in China, nearly all of which could be made in the U.S.
The Section 301 tariffs on billions of dollars worth of China-made products were imposed by President Trump after a decades-long free trade consensus in Washington, D.C., that has eliminated 3.7 million American jobs from the U.S. economy from 2001 to 2018.
Late last week, Biden’s U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) Katherine Tai announced that after an extensive review process on nearly 550 China-made products subject to U.S. tariffs, the administration would eliminate tariffs on 352 of those products.
The China-made products that will escape U.S. tariffs thanks to Biden include breast pumps, solar water heaters, garage door openers, X-ray tables, and thermostats, as well as food products from China such as crab meat, Dungeness crab, and Alaskan sole.
“Once again, multinational importers and their army of Washington lobbyists have protected their ability to import cheap Chinese goods over sourcing from American manufacturers,” Zach Mottl, chairman of the Coalition for a Prosperous America (CPA), said in a statement:
We are disappointed that the Biden administration granted exclusions to the 301 tariffs on many Chinese products that have alternatives that are made or could be made right here in America, or are made outside of China. [Emphasis added]
A group of 140 House Republicans and Democrats had been lobbying Biden to cut U.S. tariffs on China-made products.
GOP signatories included House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) as well as Reps. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA), Burgess Owens (R-UT), Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY), Ken Buck (R-CO), Young Kim (R-CA), and Anthony Gonzalez (R-OH).
A study from 2019 found that permanent U.S. tariffs of 25 percent on all Chinese imports would create more than a million American jobs in five years.

Scr** America First. IIRC, farmers got the tariff monies on farm products under Trump.
Guess their investment in Hunter paid off. Here is Senator Grassley speaking about the financial connection of the CCP with the Bidens:

Never has a CIC been more compromised.
That’ll show those CCP bastards we mean business. /sarc
Great job, Brandon! Go ahead and REWARD China for its support of Russia during Ukraine war related sanctions.
It’s clear. They hate us, and we have to deal with nearly 3 more years of them screwing us at every turn.
The sad part is that I have little to no confidence the GOP will do anything other than slow them down, a little.
The War on America is Back!!
Joe Biden can no longer distinguish between a tariff and a turnip.
Yep. ‘10% for the big guy’ was the first thing I thought when I saw this headline...
Can we now turn our gaze away from the corruption of Zelenskyy and focus it where it belongs? On Biden and the Swamp Creatures in DeeCee?
C'mon, man! The Big Guy needs to get his 10%!
Our govt is filled with TRAITORS!

China has bought the U.S government
BOOK Red-Handed: How American Elites Get Rich Helping China Win
BY Peter Schweizer
That the Chinese government seeks to infiltrate American institutions is hardly surprising. What is wholly new, however, are the number of American elites who are eager to help the Chinese dictatorship in its quest for global hegemony.
Presidential families, Silicon Valley gurus, Wall Street high rollers, Ivy League universities, even professional athletes—all willing to sacrifice American strength and security on the altar of personal enrichment.
In Red-Handed, six-time New York Times bestselling investigator Peter Schweizer presents his most alarming findings to date by revealing the secret deals wealthy Americans have cut to help China build its military, technological, and economic might. Equally as astonishing, many of these elites quietly believe the Chinese dictatorial regime is superior to American democracy.
Schweizer and his team of forensic investigators spent over a year scouring a massive trove of global corporate records and legal filings to expose the hidden transactions China’s enablers hoped would never see the light of day. And as Schweizer’s past bombshells like Profiles in Corruption, Secret Empires, and Clinton Cash all made clear, there are bad actors on both ends of the political spectrum.
Exhaustively researched, crisply told, and chilling, Red-Handed will expose the nexus of power between the Chinese government and the American elites who do its bidding.
Xi and then VP JOE IN 2012. (BFF, as long as the checks to the Biden Crime Family clear)
Just in case that Putin guy didn’t keep you 100% focused on the shiny thing on your television. China has been busy.
“”after an extensive review process””
I look forward to the day when they stop lying.. “Extensive” - nonsense! Donor lists are looked at EXTENSIVELY and then decisions are made and only then!
And 10% for the Big Guy.
Taxcutter Biden!
