In the latest move in the rapidly escalating trade war between China and the United States, China announced it would raise its own tariffs on American goods to 125%, effective April 12.

The declaration comes as a response to the White House’s announcement on April 10 that all Chinese goods would be tariffed at a minimum of 145%, with some specific industries, such as steel and aluminum, facing additional tariffs.

China is consistently one of the top suppliers to the U.S. In 2024, the U.S. imported $438 billion worth of goods from China, and exported $144 billion, according to Office of US Trade Representative.
