US Soybeans, Aircraft Had Most Exports by Dollar in UN Trade Analysis of Possible Chinese Tariffs

Soybeans, aircraft, cars and liquefied propane accounted for the largest dollar amounts of trade from the U.S. into China among goods that would be subject to new tariffs if the U.S. goes forward with Section 301 tariffs, the United Nations' International Trade Centre said in a tweet. China's list of goods potentially subject to new tariffs came in response to a U.S. proposal to add tariffs on $50 billion worth of Chinese goods (see 1804030070). President Donald Trump has since directed the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative to look into tariffs on another $100 billion worth of Chinese goods.
