Donald Trump has announced plans to impose a new 10% tariff on Chinese products.
This comes as part of an ongoing trade dispute between the US and China.
Previously, he had already implemented at least 10% tariffs on Chinese imports, which came into effect at the beginning of the month. BBC.
China’s Foreign Ministry said it had “strongly” expressed “dissatisfaction and decisive opposition” to the plan.
Trump announced Thursday that he plans to advance the previously threatened 25% tariff on imports from Canada and Mexico, and that the tax will take effect on March 4th.
The president made these remarks, but officials from Mexico and Canada were trying to prevent tariff plans in Washington.
He previously warned that a 25% tariff on imports from Mexico and Canada would come into effect on February 4, unless border security was improved on February 4.
Reports say Trump temporarily suspended implementation of certain measures for a month.
The decision comes after the two countries agreed to increase border funding and discuss drug trafficking solutions.
