Donald Trump Increases Tariffs to 104% on China
In a dramatic escalation of the ongoing trade dispute between the United States and China, the White House has confirmed that starting at 12:00 AM ET tomorrow morning, an additional 104% tariff on Chinese imports will go into effect.
This move, reported by Fox News, comes in response to China's refusal to remove its existing 34% tariff on U.S. goods. That means the tariffs are already in place and have been in place for about an hour. Karoline Leavitt has confirmed that collection will begin tomorrow on the tariffs.
The U.S.-China trade war, which began in earnest under the Trump administration, has continued to shape economic relations between the two global superpowers. Despite efforts to ease tensions through trade negotiations and periodic agreements, significant obstacles remain. One of the key sticking points in these negotiations has been the issue of tariffs. While both sides have taken steps to reduce or adjust tariffs over time, the economic friction caused by these duties has not been resolved.
For the United States, the imposition of tariffs on Chinese goods was intended to address trade imbalances, protect American intellectual property, and challenge what was seen as unfair trade practices. On the other side, China implemented retaliatory tariffs on U.S. products in an attempt to balance the scales. The 34% tariff China placed on U.S. goods, which remains in place, has been a central element of this conflict.
