US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin on Tuesday said the United States was not considering lowering tariffs on goods from China in response to the fast-spreading coronavirus, but would look at all options as the situation evolved.

"We're not considering that at the moment, but as this progresses ... we'll look at all the options that we think are important to help particularly SMEs and particular areas of the economy that are impacted by this," Mnuchin told a hearing of the House Ways and Means Committee.

He said a task force at the US Treasury was looking at the situation of SMEs, or small- and medium-sized businesses hit by the outbreak, and could present specific recommendations to help those businesses.
