President Joe Biden said on Wednesday that it was not time to lift U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods because Beijing has failed to keep its promises under the Phase One trade deal.

“I’d like to be able to be in a position where I can say they’re meeting the commitments, more than the commitments, to be able to lift something, but we’re not there yet,” Biden said during a news conference at White House.
