Before taking oath, US President Donald Trump spoke on phone with Chinese President Xi Jinping. He described this conversation as amazing. But now after taking oath, Trump can take a big step against China.
Donald Trump is in action mode after taking oath as the President of America. President Trump has said that his team is considering imposing a 10 percent tariff on China from February 1. Trump said the decision to impose tariffs on China would depend on whether it was sending fentanyl to Mexico and Canada. Fentanyl is a type of narcotic that is 50 times more powerful and addictive than heroin.
