it is clear that there has been a shift in the attitude of lawmakers towards tariffs on Chinese imports. While there was widespread derision towards President Trump's tariffs in 2018, most members of Congress are now applauding President Biden's decision to extend and expand those tariffs. There is bipartisan support for holding China accountable for unfair trade practices, and some lawmakers are even calling for further action.
