US says dozens of countries helped China dodge Trump’s tariffs

(AP Photo/Mark Schiefelbein)/2026-03-04 05:40:03/ The White House said in a report on Thursday that more than 40 countries have helped China sidestep US tariffs by routing exports through nations that face lower American import duties.

The report follows a wave of sanctions between the US and China and comes weeks before President Donald Trump will meet Chinese leader Xi Jinping in Washington.

China has used third countries as a stopover and has repackaged goods to hide their real origin to obtain lower tariffs, said the White House in its report, describing the process as "fraud cloaked in paperwork".
