Trump's side said, "Tariffs should be 60% on goods passing through Changkai Port in Peru, where Chinese capital was invested."

Trump's side has raised the claim that tariffs of 60% should be imposed on all goods passing through the Port of Changkai in Peru, which was built with large Chinese capital.

Mauricio Claver, the former president of the Inter-American Development Bank, who serves on Trump's transition team, made the comments, fearing a surge in the flow of goods through the port of Changkai, Argentine media Infobae reported.

The U.S. should impose 60% tariffs on all goods that go through ports owned by Chinese capital located in Latin America and ports managed and operated by China, Cannon also stressed.

The remarks are interpreted as an attempt to prevent a "transshipment problem" in advance, in which Chinese products can receive lower tariff benefits than entering Latin America and directly exporting them to the U.S., the final destination.

The port of Changkai in Peru, which opened on the 15th, is located in the north, 72km from Lima, Peru, and is an ultra-modern port built with China's "One Belt, One Road" funding.
