President Joe Biden said on May 23 that his administration is “considering” removing some Trump-era trade tariffs currently imposed on China as a measure designed to help reduce pressures from record inflation in the United States.

Biden, on his first trip to the Indo-Pacific region as president, arrived in Japan on May 22 after visiting South Korea. His goal was to assert “American leadership in the vital region” while sending a “powerful message” to China.
