The President has threatened to impose another round of tariffs on China. In a “60 Minutes” interview with CBS on Sunday, Trump claimed the Chinese involvement in American politics was a “bigger problem” than possible Russian involvement in the 2016 election.

Trump stated on “60 Minutes” that while he did not want to push the Chinese economy into a depression, he does want the country to negotiate a fair trade deal. If this does not happen, more tariffs “might” be in the future, Trump told CBS.

“I want them to negotiate a fair deal with us. I want them to open their markets like our markets are open,” said Trump on “60 Minutes.”

As of September 24, 2018, the U.S. imposed a 10 percent tariff on Chinese goods, many of which included fenestration products. If there is no trade negotiation, the tariffs will increase to 25 percent of January 1^st of 2019. Some of the Chinese products affected include:

• Stainless steel, doors, windows and their frames, and thresholds for doors
• Iron or steel (o/than stainless), doors, windows and their frames, and thresholds for  door
• Wooden windows, French windows and their frames
• French doors of wood
• Doors of wood, other than French doors
• Leaded glass windows & the like; multicellular or foam glass in blocks, panels, plates, shells or similar forms
• French doors of wood
• Doors of wood, other than French doors

There has been no other mention of future tariffs from the president.
