China has announced it will impose reciprocal tariffs on US good after US President Donald Trump unveiled huge customs taxes yesterday, 2 April.

The reciprocal tariff on US goods will be 34 per cent, the Ministry of Commerce said on Friday.

As of 2 April, America has a 54 per cent tariff on Chinese goods entering the US.

“The US practice is inconsistent with international trade rules, seriously damages China’s legitimate rights and interests, and is a typical unilateral bullying practice,” China’s Ministry of Commerce said.

China’s tariff will be implemented from 10 April.

America’s trade deficit with China in 2024 was $295.4bn (£226.75bn).
