Goldman Sachs Predicts 20% Average Tariffs on Chinese Imports Under Trump, Not 60%

Credited from: SCMP

  • Goldman Sachs projects that the average tariff on Chinese imports under President Trump will likely be around 20%, despite his original campaign promise of 60%.
  • The chief economist, Jan Hatzius, noted that while most goods might face 20% tariffs, certain key capital goods like solar panels, steel, and aluminium could see rates rise to 60%.
  • Hatzius emphasized that China has several responses ready should tensions escalate in trade, including export controls and financial leverage.
  • Trump's tariff strategy builds on previous tariffs imposed during his first term which affected over $300 billion of Chinese goods.
  • The economist warned that a shift to an average of 20% tariffs on imports could lead to 0.7% reduction in China's GDP growth.
