1. The tough talk on trade with China has resumed in Washington.

The Trump administration said it would proceed with a series of punitive trade-related measures on China next month, increasing pressure on Beijing as negotiations continue.

The news comes a little more than a week after the Treasury secretary, Steven Mnuchin, above, said that the trade war with China was “on hold.”

The plan is to levy 25 percent tariffs on $50 billion of Chinese imports, and officials said a list of products affected would be released by June 15.
