President Donald Trump on Friday reinstated a tariff loophole for small-value packages from China that was eliminated as part of the sweeping tariffs Chinese imports that went into effect after midnight on Tuesday,

The president said he planned to impose tariffs on countries that tax U.S. products. He also paused an action against China, allowing its low-cost products to again enter the U.S. tariff free.

In a confirmation hearing on Thursday, Trump's U.S. trade representative nominee Jamieson Greer said other countries will need to reduce barriers to U.S. exports if they want to maintain access to the U.S. market, citing Vietnam in particular.
