Washington President Joe Biden reversed a number of the Trump administration's policies during his first year in office -- but he has left tariffs in place on $350 billion of Chinese goods that were imposed by his predecessor.
Some of those tariffs, which are paid by American importers, have been in place for nearly four years. Former President Donald Trump's controversial trade war with China began in 2018 when he slapped tariffs on $50 billion of Chinese-made goods. Over the next year, he added duties to more items after Beijing retaliated with tariffs on some American-made products.
