China claps back with its own tariffs on US imports in retaliation against Trump
Briefly

China has announced a 34% tariff on all US imports set to take effect on April 10 in response to President Trump's recently imposed tariffs, which had already reached 54% overall. China's foreign ministry criticized the US tariffs for violating WTO rules and disrupting global trade. Ongoing retaliatory measures have targeted various sectors of US exports, specifically in agriculture. Analysts suggest that China's responses will follow a strategy that could include stronger retaliatory actions if tensions worsen, aiming to preserve negotiation space.
