Trump’s latest tariffs on China begin to bite
WASHINGTON, Sept 24, 2018 (AFP) – President Donald Trump’s latest round of
punitive tariffs on China took effect on Monday, adding $200 billion in
Chinese imports to the escalating trade war that is clouding the global
economic horizon.
The new attack on Beijing brings the amount of goods hit by duties to more
than $250 billion, roughly half of Chinese exports to the United States.
Beijing said it would strike back with duties on $60 billion in American
goods.
