Trump hits China with more tariffs, global markets sink

Al Jazeera  

US to impose 10 percent levy on an additional $300bn of Chinese goods, as Trump says tariff rate may increase further. United States President Donald Trump said he plans to impose a 10 percent tariff on $300bn of Chinese imports from September 1 and could raise tariffs further if China’s President Xi Jinping fails to move more quickly to strike a trade deal. Trump later said if trade negotiations fail to progress he could raise tariffs further – even beyond the 25 percent levy he has already imposed on $250bn of imports from China. Asked about the impact on financial markets, Trump told reporters: “I’m not concerned about that at all.” Moody’s said the new tariffs would weigh on the global economy at a time when growth is already slowing in the US, China and the eurozone. Gibbs said that as market access in China “remains unnecessarily restricted,” the United States should continue its dialogue with Beijing, and “also work with like-minded countries to persuade China that fair and reciprocal trade and investment benefits all.” Crops and drugs Trump said Beijing had failed to stop sales of the synthetic opioid fentanyl to the US, as it had promised to do.
