US-China trade war: All stories

Trump threatens tariffs on nearly all Chinese goods after Beijing hits back

US President Donald Trump is poised to levy punitive tariffs on almost all Chinese imports, following Beijing’s announcement on Tuesday that it would respond to Washington’s latest escalation of the trade war by imposing duties on US$60 billion of US imports. Trump took to Twitter on Tuesday to say that any further action by China targeting US farmers and industrial workers would result in “great and fast economic retaliation” from the US.
