China Imposes 84% Tariff on U.S. Goods in Retaliation to Trump’s Trade Policies as Tensions Escalate

China announced a significant retaliatory tariff of 84% on U.S. goods in response to President Donald Trump’s latest tariff policies.

Effective April 10, this increase marks a rise from the previous 34% tariff. Meanwhile, U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods have escalated to 104% after China failed to meet Trump’s deadline to reduce its own tariffs.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt commented that China’s retaliation was a mistake, emphasizing that President Trump responds firmly when faced with challenges.
