Navarro Says Countries Are Helping China Avoid Tariffs

• The Trump administration is using an AI-powered 'detective border' to identify and combat tariff dodging.
• China is accused of using transshipment (modern smuggling) by rerouting goods through third countries like Mexico, Canada, Vietnam, and Turkey to evade US tariffs.
• The new AI system allows for real-time monitoring of boats and containers globally, assessing the probability of transshipment with over 95% accuracy.
• The US is strengthening enforcement with forms like 28 and 29 to collect due revenues and is incorporating strong transshipment provisions into new trade deals like USMCA.

The Trump administration is deploying an AI-powered 'detective border' to crack down on countries helping China avoid tariffs through transshipment. Peter Navarro, Senior Counselor to the President, explains that this initiative aims to protect American workers and businesses from predatory mercantilist practices and will be integrated into future trade agreements.
