| Subject: Race to the bottom: China, in response to Trump, slaps tariffs on $34B in U.S. products, from soybeans to cigars Sun Jun 17, 2018 1:36 am | |
| Barely 24 hours after the U.S. hit China with new tariffs on imports, Beijing fired a return salvo Saturday in a growing trade dispute with President Donald Trump by imposing duties on a $34 billion list of U.S. goods ranging from soybeans to whiskey to cigars. Beginning July 6, China will slap an extra 25 percent tariff on 545 products from the United States including soybeans, electric cars, orange juice, whiskey, salmon and cigars, according to the Ministry of Finance. China said additional tariffs on 114 more U.S. items, covering chemical products, medical equipment and energy, will be announced later.
