President Donald Trump's administration is considering a trade package including indefinite tariffs, investment restrictions and possible visa restrictions on Chinese travelers, a source told CNBC Tuesday.
The new package was crafted in response to the findings from a recent investigation of China by U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer.
