China recently announced retaliatory tariffs against the U.S.

Beginning April 10th, China will impose a 34 percent tariff on all U.S. goods, the same amount as President Trump’s reciprocal tariffs announced this week.

Today, President Trump made the announcement that the U.S. will impose more tariffs if China does not back down on Truth Social.

“If China does not withdraw its 34% increase above their already long-term trading abuses by tomorrow, April 8th, 2025, the United States will impose additional tariffs on China of 50%, effective April 9th.”

China plans to enact export controls on a number of materials used to make semiconductors.
