President-elect Joe Biden says he won't immediately lift tariffs placed by President Donald Trump on many imports from China or break Trump's initial trade deal.
Biden says he wants to maximise his leverage in future talks with the United States' geopolitical rival.
Speaking to New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman, Biden said, “I'm not going to make any immediate moves, and the same applies to the tariffs.” Biden adds in Friedman's column published Wednesday: “I'm not going to prejudice my options.”
