On April 18 local time, the US Columbia Broadcasting Corporation reported that multiple sources revealed that since the Trump administration’s abnormally high tariffs on Chinese goods will lead to a supply chain crisis, the Trump administration has begun discussing the establishment of a working group to urgently deal with these issues if no breakthrough is made in negotiations with the Chinese government.

Sources said no details have been finalized yet about the specific formation of the group, but the working group is likely to include Vice President Vance, Treasury Secretary Bessant, Commerce Secretary Lutnick, White House National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett, White House Council of Economic Advisers Chairman Stephen Milan and U.S. Trade Representative Jamison Greer.
