Trump to call for crackdown on China trade Monday

MOSCOW, Aug. 12 -- US President Donald Trump may announce a probe into China’s alleged intellectual property theft on Monday after repeatedly accusing Beijing of "unfair" trade practices, US media said.

A government official confirmed to Politico that Trump was going to instruct US Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer to open the investigation under Section 301 of the 1974 US Trade Act.

Section 301 allows Washington to take unilateral action against a foreign government that is violating an international trade agreement or is somehow damaging US commercial interests. (Sputnik)
