TOKYO/GDANSK, Jan 22 (Reuters) - The dollar struggled to regain ground against major currencies on Wednesday, hovering close to two-week lows as a lack of clarity on President Donald Trump's plans for tariffs kept financial markets guessing.
Trump said late on Tuesday that his administration was discussing imposing a 10% tariff on goods imported from China on Feb. 1, the same day that he previously said Mexico and Canada could face levies of around 25%.
