During the campaign, Trump said he would impose import duties on Chinese products to promote domestic production, but that could lead to even further devaluation of the yuan, Market Realist reported.\u201cThey are a manipulator, grand master level,\u201d Mr. Trump said in a speech at the Economic Club of New York in September. \u201cI am going to instruct my treasury secretary to label China a currency manipulator, and to apply tariffs to any country that devalues its currency to gain an unfair advantage over the United States.\u201dThe Wall Street Journal noted in September, however, China has been trying to prevent the yuan from devaluing further as its economy slows."},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"News","item":"https:\/\/globaltradefunding.com\/news\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Chinese Yuan Headed For Biggest Annual Drop In 20 Years As Capital Outflows Accelerate","item":"https:\/\/globaltradefunding.com\/news\/chinese-yuan-headed-for-biggest-annual-drop-in-20-years-as-capital-outflows-accelerate\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
