China’s Ministry of Finance has announced a 34% tariff on all U.S. imports starting April 10, in response to similar duties implemented by the U.S. under former President Donald Trump’s administration, according to state news outlet Xinhua.
“China urges the United States to immediately cancel its unilateral tariff measures and resolve trade differences through consultation in an equal, respectful and mutually beneficial manner,” Xinhua cited the finance ministry as saying in a Google-translated report.
The ministry strongly criticized the U.S. for imposing an additional 34% tariff, bringing the total U.S. tariffs on China to 54%.
