The article reflects the author's opinions and not necessarily the views of CGTN. The US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer announced on July 23 a sweeping 301 tariff of 10-12.5% on around 60 economies, replacing the Section 122 tariff that expires on July 24. This seamless tariff relay proves again that the Trump administration relies heavily on tariffs as a core economic tool. As Section 122 was the continuation of reciprocal tariffs by other means, the new 301 tariff is also a continuation of the Section 122 tariff by other means. The 301 tariff is a total farce. The US 1974 Trade Expansion Act Section 301 authorizes the USTR to probe into a certain trading partner to find if any discriminatory trade policy is pursued at the cost of American business or families.
