China Retaliates With Tariffs After Trump’s 104% Tariffs

President Trump’s 104% tariffs on China took effect at midnight. In response, China imposed additional tariffs of 50% on the U.S., raising its total to 84% on American imports. This escalation led to instability in global markets with American stock futures down.

  • The White House criticized China’s reaction, describing it as a losing strategy.
  • Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent labeled China as the “worst offender” in global trade.
  • Bessent argued that as a surplus country, China would face more consequences.

China accused the U.S. of aggressive economic actions.
