Both the Trump and Biden administrations have upheld tariffs on Chinese goods, originally imposed to counter China's unfair trade practices and overproduction.

Trump introduced tariffs on over $300 billion in goods, and Biden has continued these measures, increasing rates on items like electric vehicles and solar panels.

Both parties view tariffs as essential to protecting U.S. industries, though their approaches differ. Trump advocates raising tariffs further, while Biden uses tariffs alongside domestic incentives to support American manufacturers.

Presidential candidate Kamala Harris’s stance on tariffs is less clear. However, if she maintains Biden's policies, tariffs will likely stay in place under her administration.

Regardless of the election outcome, tariffs on China are expected to remain a key tool in U.S. trade policy.
