According to the report, US President Donald Trump has escalated the trade war with China and has imposed a 145% tariff on Beijing. While he had earlier announced 125% tariffs on China, the White House has now clarified that these new tariffs would be imposed in addition to an already existing fentanyl-related tariff of 20%. This came after China imposed an 84% tariff on the US, in retaliation to Trump's earlier-announced 104% tariffs on China. Trump had initially levied a total 54% tariff on Beijing, which was quick to retaliate with a 34% tariff on the US.
Meanwhile, Trump has announced a 90-day pause on "retaliatory" tariffs for over 75 countries, merely 12 hours after his 'Liberation Day' tariffs came into effect. He has now kept a baseline tariff of 10% for all the nations that reached out to the US, seeking a trade deal.
Tariff is now the latest issue worldwide, it is also a problem in the Philippines for the imposition of higher tariffs. The 145 % tariff for China seems too much for them to accept.
