China Doubles Tariffs on U.S. Goods to 84%, Heightening Trade Tensions

China has drastically escalated trade tensions with the United States by significantly increasing tariffs on goods originating from the U.S. The new tariff rate, set at a substantial 84%, will take effect on April 10, 2025, covering all imports from the U.S. This decision follows recent actions by the U.S. to impose tariffs on Chinese goods and reflects ongoing economic disputes between the two nations. Experts predict significant disruptions to global supply chains as a result of these higher tariffs. Industries such as aerospace, technology, and agriculture are expected to feel the most impact.
