In a sharp escalation of the trade war with China, the U.S. Trade Representative has released a list of about 5,000 items valued at around $200 billion that could be subject to new 10 percent tariffs on Chinese imports if adopted after a public hearing next month. The USTR issued the list on Tuesday at the direction of President Trump.
