US President Donald Trump has raised the tariff rate on China imports to an effective total of 145%, the White House said on Thursday, April 10. This increase comes amid escalating trade tensions, with significant retaliatory measures from both countries. The executive order raised duties on a broad spectrum of Chinese goods to 125%, a jump from the earlier rate of 84%. This new tariff rate also incorporates a pre-existing 20% tariff related to fentanyl, which was part of the administration's efforts to combat the influx of synthetic opioids from China. Tariff War: China’s 84% Retaliatory Tariffs on US Imports Come Into Force.
