Trump says US will impose additional 10% tariff on China

Donald Trump said he intends to hit goods from China with a 10 % new tariff, which is the latest Sulfo in the escalating commercial battles of the US President.

Imports from China are already facing taxes at at least 10 %, after Trump’s tariff order, earlier this month.

The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs said it was “strongly” that she expressed “dissatisfaction and firm opposition” to the plans.

Trump also said on Thursday that he intends to move forward with a 25 % tariff on imports from Canada and Mexico, which is scheduled to enter into force on March 4.

Trump’s comments came as officials from Mexico and Canada who were in Washington for discussions aimed at getting out of this plan..

Trump announced 25 % definition plans on Mexico and Canada for February 4, unless the two countries exceeded border security.

Stop procedures for a month at the last minute after the two countries agreed to increase border financing and talk more about how to combat drug trafficking.

On social media on Thursday, Trump wrote that he did not believe that sufficient measures have been taken to tackle the flow of fentanel to the United States.

“The drugs are still flowing in our country from Mexico and Canada at very high and unacceptable levels,” he wrote, adding that a “large percentage” of drugs has been made in China.

“As we know, [Trump] He has his way of communicating. ”

“I hope we can reach an agreement, and on March 4, we can announce something else,” she added.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau also said that his country is working hard to reach an agreement, warning from the United States of “a very immediate and strong response.”

Trump’s threats against Mexico and Canada have sparked widespread alert, as North America’s economy is closely related to decades of work under the Free Trade Agreement.

The leaders of the two countries said earlier that they would impose a retaliatory tariff on the United States if the White House advances its plans.

Customs duties are a tax that the government collects and paid for the business that brings goods to the country.

China, Mexico and Canada are the three best commercial partners in America, representing more than 40 % of imports in the United States last year.

Economists have warned the definitions of goods from the three countries that could lead to the high prices of the United States in everything from iPhone to avocado.

Trump’s invitation to an additional 10 % tax on goods from China – which he said will enter into force on Tuesday – was not previously announced, although during his presidential campaign, he supported border taxes on Chinese products by up to 60 %.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian said that Trump was using the issue of drugs that enter the United States from China as a “excuse” to threaten customs tariffs, adding that she had one of the “most stringent” drug control policies in the world.

“Pressure, coercion and threats are not the right way to deal with China,” he said.

Liu Bingio, a spokesman for the Chinese embassy, ​​said earlier that his country was already working with the United States to address fears related to fentanel, and has made “visual progress” in areas such as information exchange, cooperation cooperation and online advertising cleaning.

He said in a statement, “Reducing the demand for local drugs and enhancing law enforcement cooperation is the basic solutions,” warned that Trump’s tariff movements “must affect future cooperation between the two sides.”

“The unilateral definitions imposed by the United States will not solve its own problems, and will not benefit both sides or world.”

Trump commentsTrade expert Christine McDaniel, an oldest research colleague at the Mercatos Center at George Washington University, said that the drug flow stopped to stop or be “severely limited”, which spoils the way for Mexico and Canada to negotiate.

On Thursday, with the intensification of tariff talks, two alleged leaders imprisoned from the Violent Zetas Cartel that the United States – Miguel Angel Trevino Morales and his brother Oscar – have sought.

Mexican media said it was part of a larger group of drug princes sent from Mexico to the United States – a major step in terms of US security relations and Mexico.

Mrs. McDaniel said that Trump’s demands for China were less clear, raising the possibility that these measures would enter into force.

Trump’s initial round of definitions on China was subjected to its threats against Canada and Mexico. But the possibility of other tasks raises questions about how to respond to companies.

Mrs. McDaniel said she expects the strike to be more in China.

She said: “It is not charged with the United States, but it seems to be more expensive for China,” she said.

The impact of definitions, if they entered into force, will be more in Canadian and Mexican economies, which depend on the United States as a major export market.

But analysts have warned that the threat of the fees, even if they have not been imposed before, are still likely to have a chilling effect on investment, including in the United States.

China has already responded to the first round of definitions of the United States with its own definitions of American products, including coal and agricultural machines.

Trump rejected concerns about the damage to the American economy.
