From April 10, China will impose a 34% tariff on imports of all goods from the United States. This is reported by AP, writes UNN.
Details
According to reports, the move is part of a response to US President Donald Trump's introduction of double-digit tariffs on Chinese goods in honor of "Liberation Day".
The new tariff corresponds to the US "appropriate" tariff rate of 34% on Chinese exports.
The Ministry of Commerce in Beijing also said in its statement that it will strengthen export controls on rare earth metals used in high-tech products such as computer chips and batteries for electric vehicles.
The Chinese government also said it would add 27 American companies to lists of companies subject to trade sanctions or export controls. It also announced that it had filed a lawsuit with the World Trade Organization on the issue of tariffs.
Recall
Earlier, CNN reported that China has promised to retaliate after US President Donald Trump announced new large tariffs on its exports to the United States as part of his radical overhaul of a century-old American global trade policy.
