Are tariffs going up on December ... [+] 15? On Wednesday morning, Bloomberg reported from China that U.S.-China trade talks were going well, quoting anonymous sources. I see Trump avoiding this blunder and tariffs going up on December 15.”China says it wants a rollback on tariffs before reaching a deal. How that happens following the latest attacks on China for human rights, and this week’s NATO meeting acknowledging China as a military threat, remains a mystery. Assuming tariffs go up in December, China may retaliate by creating its own blacklist of U.S. companies or banning official China business with lawmakers who backed the recent human rights bills.
