The number, published in a White House memo, comes in addition to a 20% levy put into place earlier this year over China’s role in fentanyl trafficking.
US President Donald Trump on Thursday upped his tariffs on Chinese goods to 145 per cent after China placed retaliatory duties of 84 per cent on imports from the United States, reported Bloomberg.

The number, published in a White House memo, comes in addition to a 20% levy put into place earlier this year over China’s role in fentanyl trafficking.
Trump, a day earlier, imposed a 125% charge designed to both counter America’s trade deficit with China and punish Beijing for retaliating against US import taxes.
The current US tariffs on Chinese imports in place now include a 145% duty on all products imported from China, 25% tariffs on aluminum, automobiles, and goods from Canada and Mexico that do not fall under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement and a 10% levy on all other imported items.
