US President Donald Trump has announced further tariffs on $250 billion in Chinese goods, upping existing 25 percent duties to 30 percent. Another $300 billion in goods due to be taxed at 10 percent will be taxed at 15 percent.
The 25 percent tariff is already in effect, and will become a 30 percent tariff starting on October 1. The $300 billion in imports set to be taxed at 10 percent starting on September 1 will now be taxed at 15 percent starting on the same date.
…unfair Trading Relationship. China should not have put new Tariffs on 75 BILLION DOLLARS of United States product (politically motivated!). Starting on October 1st, the 250 BILLION DOLLARS of goods and products from China, currently being taxed at 25%, will be taxed at 30%…
