WASHINGTON, Sept. 17 (Yonhap) -- U.S. President Donald Trump's administration is expected to postpone the announcement of new tariffs over trading partners' alleged excess capacity in manufacturing sectors until after the planned summit between Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping next week, a report said Thursday.

Citing people familiar with the matter, Bloomberg reported on the expected delay, noting that the reason for the delay is unclear, as Trump is expected to have a summit with Xi in Washington on Sept. 24, more than four months after their previous meeting in Beijing.

Bloomberg previously reported that the Trump administration intended to issue a trade report on excess manufacturing capacity before next week's Trump-Xi summit, and that the report would recommend a 7.5 percent tariff on Chinese products.

In March, the administration launched a trade investigation into South Korea, China, Japan and 13 other economies to uncover "unfair" trade practices related to "structural" excess capacity and production, a move that might result in tariffs.

In the same month, it opened a separate investigation into 60 economies, including South Korea, China and Japan, to determine whether their governments have taken sufficient steps to ban the importation of goods produced with forced labor.

In July, the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) announced its final decision to impose new tariffs of up to 12.5 percent on South Korea, Japan and 58 other trading partners over forced labor concerns.

The administration carried out the investigations over alleged excess capacity and forced labor concerns under Section 301 of the 1974 Trade Act, as it pushed to roll out new duties to replace the country-specific emergency tariffs that the Supreme Court struck down in February.

华盛顿，9月17日（韩联社）——周四有报道称，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普的政府预计将推迟宣布对贸易伙伴制造业产能过剩问题加征新关税，直到下周特朗普与中国国家主席习近平举行峰会之后。

彭博社援引知情人士的话报道称，峰会预计将会推迟，并指出推迟的原因尚不清楚，因为特朗普预计将于9月24日在华盛顿与习近平举行峰会，距离他们上次在北京会晤已经过去了四个多月。

彭博社此前报道称，特朗普政府计划在下周特朗普与习近平峰会之前发布一份关于过剩制造业产能的贸易报告，该报告将建议对中国产品征收 7.5% 的关税。

今年 3 月，美国政府对韩国、中国、日本和其他 13 个经济体展开贸易调查，以揭露与“结构性”产能过剩和生产相关的“不公平”贸易行为，此举可能导致征收关税。

同月，该机构对包括韩国、中国和日本在内的 60 个经济体展开了单独调查，以确定这些国家的政府是否已采取足够措施禁止进口用强迫劳动生产的商品。

7 月，美国贸易代表办公室 (USTR) 宣布最终决定，因强迫劳动问题，对韩国、日本和其他 58 个贸易伙伴加征最高达 12.5% 的新关税。

政府根据 1974 年贸易法第 301 条，对涉嫌产能过剩和强迫劳动问题展开调查，同时推动推出新的关税，以取代最高法院在 2 月份驳回的针对特定国家的紧急关税。
