Trump Threatens China with New 50% Tariff in Escalating Trade War
- Monday, 07 April 2025
President Donald Trump threatened to impose an additional 50% tariff on China if they do not remove their retaliatory import levy of 34% by Tuesday. This escalation comes after Beijing announced it would impose reciprocal 34% tariffs on all US imports. Trump warned that negotiations and trade talks with China would be canceled if they refused to back down, stating that he would "impose ADDITIONAL Tariffs on China of 50 percent effective April 9th" unless the Chinese removed their tariff by April 8th, 2025.
