The move comes after President Donald Trump slapped a total tariff of 104% on Chinese imports
The US has hiked tariffs on all Chinese imports to a staggering 104%, escalating the ongoing trade conflict and wiping out another $1.5 trillion from US stock markets on Tuesday.
China was originally set to face a 34% tariff increase on Wednesday, as part of President Donald Trump’s “reciprocal”measures targeting virtually all US trade partners. However, after Beijing responded with a proportional 34% duty of its own, the US president raised the blanket tariff to a total of 104%.
“After all of the abuses they’ve perpetrated, China is attempting to impose additional unjustified tariffs,” Trump said at a National Republican Congressional Committee dinner in Washington on Tuesday.
