Those come on top of other levies imposed during Trump's first term and extended during the Biden administration.\nIt would mark the latest step by Trump to resurrect his protectionist trade agenda after the Supreme Court struck down his previous import taxes on products from China and dozens of other economies, while stopping short of escalating the trade conflict with Beijing beyond the agreed-upon threshold.\nExact rates have yet to be finalised, said the people, who spoke on condition of anonymity. Trump is also known to make last-minute demands or changes to trade announcements. One option under consideration is announcing a higher duty rate for China but suspending part of it in order to reduce the effective rate to 7.5%, a person familiar with the deliberations said.\nThe details of what rates would be suspended and for how long are still under negotiation, the people added. Beijing and Washington are also looking to extend their so-called trade pact, which established a one-year truce that's set to expire on Nov 10, they said.\nIn March, the Trump administration launched an investigation into more than a dozen major trading partners under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 over excess capacity concerns. It was one of two probes that the president's team used to replace his prior tariffs with more durable ones.\nSeptember summit\nAdministration officials are hoping to publish the results of the excess capacity inquiry before Trump and Xi are due to meet in Washington on Sept 24. The details of the overcapacity report have proven legally challenging, according to people familiar with the matter.\nUS Trade Representative Jamieson Greer told Bloomberg Television in July that the excess capacity investigation would take longer than another on forced labour due to its complexity and that the delay had nothing to do with efforts to maintain the truce with Beijing.\nWhen asked about the tariff plans, a White House official said any announcements will come directly from the administration and that any reporting or discussion of them should be considered baseless speculation. The Office of the US Trade Representative didn't immediately respond to a request for comments. China's Ministry of Commerce did not respond to a fax for comments.\nThe Trump administration's approach to China, its foremost geopolitical rival, stands in stark contrast to its stance towards some of the US's biggest traditional allies. While the president has been keen not to upset his tariff truce with China, his administration applied a 50% levy on billions of dollars of Canadian products and has mused about tearing up the North American trade agreement he renegotiated during his first term.\nTrump is rebuilding a tariff wall that was struck down when the Supreme Court in February ruled his global levies, issued under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, violated the US Constitution. The president's temporary 10% global tariffs expired in July, and were also deemed illegal by a trade court. \nThe administration is justifying its new global duties under the findings of its investigations into forced labour and industrial overcapacity in the economies of dozens of trading partners.\nAs part of that campaign, the Trump administration in July imposed a 12.5% tariff on Chinese goods, citing inadequate efforts to address forced labour practices. While Beijing criticised the move, it stopped short of announcing retaliatory measures, instead saying Washington had agreed to cap any additional duties on Chinese exports at 20%. That clarified earlier comments that referenced tariff ceilings discussed during trade talks last year. \nMalaysia deal\n\"We hope that the US will honor its commitments, ensuring that regardless of the reasons given for imposing or replacing tariffs on China in the future, US tariffs on China will not exceed the levels outlined in the Kuala Lumpur trade consultations,\" China's Ministry of Commerce said in a May statement. \nSection 301 allows the US Trade Representative, under the direction of the president, to impose tariffs in response to other nations' trade measures it deems discriminatory to American businesses or in violation of US rights under international trade agreements. However, efforts to implement these levies have already come up against legal challenges. \nA coalition of 25 states including New York, California and Illinois earlier this month filed a lawsuit at the US Court of International Trade, adding to similar proceedings by small businesses that claim the levies are illegal. The states allege Trump unlawfully invoked Section 301 to replace tariffs that were struck down by the Supreme Court by using the forced-labour rationale as a pretext. \nThe Trump administration has said the duties under Section 301 are legally sound and that the provision has been supported by previous court rulings.\nOther disputes could inject fresh uncertainty into the summit. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Monday threatened economic punishment against any country doing business with Iran, and recent US technology curbs have already prompted Beijing to tighten drone export controls, sanction American entities and warn of further countermeasures if Washington presses ahead.\nUploaded by Tham Yek Lee","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":false,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"-1","news_tag":"policyRegulatory","news_rank":0,"isVideo":false,"video":null,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"need_login_tip":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"}}}
