  • White House announces 35% tariff on Chinese tire imports.
  • However, both sides knew that Obama was faced with a Sept. 17 deadline on the matter, and given the political pressure at home to protect manufacturers, Beijing had to expect some type of action on the part of the administration.
  • Interestingly, the case against China was brought by the United Steelworkers union--not U.S. tire producers themselves. Some observers of the case say domestic tire producers who have manufacturing facilities in China are now worried about retaliation by Beijing.
