#TrumpTariffs

Monday’s declaration by U.S. President Donald Trump indicates a further escalation in the trade tensions between the United States and China. Trump, in a post on Truth Social media, has stated that the United States will impose an additional 50% tariff on Chinese goods if China does not rescind its recent 34% tariff hike by April 8, 2025. This ultimatum follows China’s retaliatory tariffs and other trade practices that Trump has labeled as abusive.
