Headline: UNCAPTIONED: US Accuses Dozens of Countries of Helping China Evade Tariffs
Caption: US Accuses Dozens of Countries of Helping China Evade Tariffs. The White House says more than 40 countries helped China avoid US tariffs by rerouting exports through lower-duty markets. Canada, India, Mexico, Japan and South Korea were among those named in the report. Trade adviser Peter Navarro said the practice cost American jobs and billions of dollars in government revenue. China rejected the accusations, warning that trade wars have no winners and opposing unilateral American tariff measures. The White House estimates between $30 billion and $300 billion worth of goods may have been transshipped. Transshipping involves routing products through another country to disguise their original source and secure lower import duties. US officials accused China of exploiting this system, describing it as fraud hidden behind complex paperwork. The report says Washington is now using artificial intelligence tools to detect suspected transshipment operations. The allegations could further complicate Trump's planned September meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Washington.
