Beijing's measures come in the wake of duties imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump's administration earlier this week.
  • China’s finance ministry on Friday said it will impose a 34% tariff on all goods imported from the U.S. starting on April 10.
  • The ministry criticized Washington’s decision to impose 34% of additional reciprocal levies on China — bringing total U.S. tariffs against the country to 54% — as “inconsistent with international trade rules.”
  • U.S. stock futures and European markets fell sharply on news of the reciprocal tariffs.

    I can’t find details of what China’s existing tariffs on the US were? I’m not saying I don’t belief you, I’m interested in what they were - any chance you could link me to the details please?

      According to MSN’s timeline of the tariff war, it started with Trumps first term where he enacted Tariffs on China in 2017-2018. So it looks like Trump started it.
