(Photo by Paul Morigi\/Getty Images for Fortune\/Time Inc)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h5>OAN NEWSROOM<br \/>UPDATED 1:10 PM PT \u2013 Monday, July 25, 2022<\/h5>\n<p>Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo confirmed that the Biden administration is considering lifting tariffs on China. In an interview Sunday, Raimondo said officials are looking at potential labor implications of lifting Trump-era tariffs on China. She added that tariffs could be lifted if it helps bring down inflation and alleviate supply chain problems.<\/p>\n<p>The Secretary\u00a0also praised Biden\u2019s so-called green agenda despite concerns it may further cripple US manufacturing. Despite\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/homenews\/3530407-bidens-china-tariff-policy-could-irritate-union-allies\/\">an analysis by the Peterson Institute for International Economics<\/a>\u00a0that lifting tariffs on some Chinese-made products would save households hundreds of dollars, Biden is concerned about the support of unions in making this decision.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cThere are potential labor implications,\u201d Raimondo stated. \u201cOne thing about this president is he will never do anything that he thinks will hurt workers in America or union workers in America.\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Labor unions are actively campaigning against dropping tariffs on China with multiple groups filing an official comment to the Office of the US Trade Representative earlier this month to advocate for the tariffs to stay in place. Trump imposed numerous tariffs on China during his time in office. The former president believed that trading practices with the country were unfair to the US. The Biden administration has kept many of the tariffs in place despite indicating some of the policies need to be changed.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cThe labor market is now extremely strong,\u201d she said. \u201cThis is not an economy that\u2019s in recession, but we\u2019re in a period of transition in which growth is slowing. And that\u2019s necessary and appropriate, and we need to be growing at a steady and sustainable pace.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The Commerce Secretary herself advocated for dropping some of the tariffs, but there is no clear timeline on when the president will make a decision on the issue. Biden\u2019s thinking could also be impacted by the midterm elections where union support is a big help to Democrats in a year where Republicans are expected to pick up multiple seats.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The President is still weighing whether or not to lift tariffs off of China.
