  • US will keep in place tariffs on Chinese imports
  • Even if the coronavirus begins to weigh on China's economy

CNBC's Carl Quintanilla asked whether a tariff rollback was on the table if China was abiding by the terms of the "phase one" trade deal but started to see its economy hurt by the coronavirus.

  • Navarro said. "That's a spin that's coming right out of Wall Street, and it really, I think, it does a disservice to this whole crisis to bring that into the discussion"
