ABORAD AIR FORCE ONE (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Friday that he has tariffs ready to go on a further $267 billion worth of Chinese imports, as the world awaits his decision on imposing levies on $200 billion worth of the Asian nation's goods.

“The $200 billion we are talking about could take place very soon depending on what happens with them. To a certain extent its going to be up to China, Trump said. "And I hate to say this, but behind that is another $267 billion ready to go on short notice if I want. That changes the equation.”

Earlier on Friday White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow said Trump will not make any decisions on his threatened tariffs on another $200 billion worth of Chinese goods before officials evaluate public comments on them. The U.S. Trade Representative's office received nearly 6,000 comments during the public comment period on the proposed levies, which ended Thursday night.

hit China where it hurts the commie government.
Trump is a genius!!! Forgot to mention. History will tell!
if he is.. then why he doesnt impose 200 B of tariffs straight away n why wait.. he scare the ***out of China I guess
Trump is the only one who can keep US number one. Only a crazy human would want that position to go to China. Tariffs are a great way to get money for the budget deficit, to bring production back to US. I am sick of all china products everywhere. I want Made in America!
Do not blame China! You are supposed to blame citizens who buy stuffs made in China. It is not their fault. The cost of standard living is expensive forces them buying cheap stuffs with stsndard qualities.
Production of the typical Chinese product will never come back to the US. You want to go to Walmart and buy a $35 T-shirt? Because that is what US labor cost will do to prices. You understand economics as much as Trump.
totally agree.. Iphone is make and assemble in China.. imagine iphone is make in USA.. it would cost 1500usd for just 32gb ... bringing up Tariffs will only make the cost of living High due to High price of goods
Never ending billions of traff coming as whatever he want until china give up the control to him , crazy president
China doesnt control him.. he is the president of USA for God sake.. he is good at making deals before.. not this is not just about him.. it is about the whole country..
If Americans know he is wrong, and willing to condone what Trump is doing, no one stands out to stop him, how are we going to ever trust Americans again? reputation down the drain
he needs to be removed
Even if the comments are 100% against the added tariffs Trump won't even consider them. His ego is to big and won't let him not do something he said he would do. Just a bully in the eyes of the rest of the world , except for his cult followers.
