Trump, who imposed a wave of tariffs on China in his first term, has slapped another 20% duty on a wide swath of Chinese goods this year. Beijing, the top buyer of American agricultural products, recently imposed retaliatory tariffs of 10% to 15% on a range of U.S. exports like chicken, corn, soybeans and beef.

The leaders of both Canada and Mexico got on the phone with President Donald Trump this past week to seek solutions after he slapped tariffs on their countries, but China’s president appears unlikely to make a similar call soon.

President Donald Trump’s 25% tariffs on steel and aluminum imports came into force Wednesday, triggering an immediate reprisal from the European Union as the global trade war enters a new and perilous phase.
