For now, the financial markets are taking the president-elect's tariff threats seriously, if not literally.

Congress created the office of U.S. Trade Representative and has traditionally defended its independence.

European leaders should not assume that Trump’s tariff threats are “just a bluff,” one of Trump's international economic advisers in his first term says.

The proposed regulation is the latest barrier that the United States has imposed on Chinese vehicles.

The president has already expressed opposition to Japanese-owned Nippon’s proposed takeover of U.S. Steel, saying the iconic U.S. company should remain American owned.

The International Emergency Economic Powers Act gives the president sweeping authority to control economic transactions.

Under pressure from the U.S., the G7 is rolling out new initiatives to counter China’s economic reach. There’s little agreement on how much further to go.

“My predecessor promised increased American exports and to boost manufacturing, but he did neither. He failed,” the president said.

WTO members had little to show for five days of talks in Abu Dhabi, other than the extension of a digital trade tariff moratorium that has been in place since 1998.

New data shows the goods trade deficit with Canada and Mexico is more than double what it was in 2017, when Donald Trump became president.

The decision was made by U.S. Trade Representative Katherine Tai, who is delegated authority from the president to review and potentially overturn import ban orders imposed by the ITC under U.S. trade law.

Leaders in both parties have been more restrained than some rank-and-file lawmakers — a sign of the countervailing economic and political dynamics at play.

The carefully worded remark shows the high stakes for Biden if his administration were to block the deal on national security grounds.

The remarks come as the Biden administration is continuing its review of the tariffs that former President Donald Trump imposed on more than $300 billion worth of Chinese goods to determine whether any changes should be made.

The former president’s plans to show up for autoworkers are more overt than Joe Biden’s. But Trump’s track record has its holes.

Spending by Chinese visitors to the U.S. is still a fraction of what it was before the pandemic.

The Commerce secretary is likely to get an earful about how U.S. export and investment restrictions are kneecapping China’s economy.

2023 could mark the year that rising geopolitical friction between Washington and Beijing finally persuaded many American companies to find other suppliers.
