According to CCTV.com, according to the Wall Street Journal on the 23rd, senior US officials revealed that the Trump administration is considering a variety of plans. The first option is that the tariff rate imposed on Chinese goods may be reduced to about 50%-65%. The second option is called the "grading plan". The United States will divide goods imported from China into so-called "no threat to US national security" and so-called "strategic significance to US national interests."

US media said that in the "grading plan", the US will impose a 35% tariff on the former category of goods, and the tariff rate on the second category of goods is at least 100%. White House press secretary Levitt said Trump's position on tariffs on China "has not softened."
