President Donald Trump has warned Beijing that a new round of tariffs will be imposed if It does not reverse its most recent retaliatory action—an aggressive 34% increase in U.S. export duties. Trump issued a firm deadline of April 8 and threatened to impose a 50% tariff on Chinese imports the following day if they didn’t comply.
Trump scathingly posted on Truth Social that China had added a new 34% retaliatory tariff on top of what he described as “record-setting Tariffs, Non-Monetary Tariffs, Illegal Subsidization of companies, and massive long-term Currency Manipulation.” He warned that any nation that retaliated against the United States by imposing extra tariffs would be instantly hit with new and significantly greater tariffs.
He said that “the United States will impose ADDITIONAL Tariffs on China of 50%, effective April 9th,” unless Beijing retreated by April 8. Additionally, Trump threatened to halt negotiations, saying, “We will end all discussions with China about their desired meetings with us!
The White House rejected rumors of a short-term halt in tariff policy and supported the president’s position. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt called speculations that Trump would postpone additional tariffs for 90 days “false news.
