WASHINGTON—U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said on Oct. 14 that an additional round of tariffs on Chinese imports will likely be imposed if a trade deal with China has not been reached by then, but added that he expected the agreement to go through.
“I have every expectation—if there’s not a deal, those tariffs would go in place—but I expect we'll have a deal,” he said in an interview with CNBC, when asked about a round of tariffs scheduled for Dec. 15.
