China Is Raising Tariffs On $60 Billion Of US Goods Starting June 1
China will raise tariffs on $60 billion in U.S. goods in retaliation for the U.S. decision to hike duties on Chinese goods, the Chinese Fi- nance Ministry said Monday.
Beijing will increase tariffs on more than 5,000 products to as high as 25%. Duties on some other goods will increase to 20%. Those rates will rise from either 10% or 5% previously.
The move follows President Donald Trump’s decision to raise duties on $200 billion in Chinese products to 25% from 10%. The world’s two largest economies have struggled to sign a trade deal and end a widening conflict that threatens to damage the global economy.
The latest shot in the trade war rattled investors. Major U.S. stock indexes dove more than 2% Monday amid the escalation.
The duties in large part target U.S. farmers, who largely supported Trump in 2016 but suffered from previous shots in the Trump ad- ministration’s trade war with China. The thousands of products in- clude peanuts, sugar, wheat, chicken and turkey.
Neither the White House nor the Treasury Department immedi- ately responded to CNBC’s requests to comment on the tariff increase. In increasing duties on Chinese goods on Friday, the White House said Beijing backed out of major parts of a developing trade agree- ment. While Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and U. S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer met with Chinese negotiators last week in talks Mnuchin called “constructive,” the sides could not
strike a deal.
Trump, who wants to address grievances such as intellectual
property theft, forced technology transfers and trade deficits, pushed China to make a deal ahead of its retaliation on Monday morning. In a string of tweets, the president argued the tariffs are “very bad for China.” He said “China should not retaliate” as it “will only get worse!”
“You had a great deal, almost completed, & you backed out!” he wrote of China and its President Xi Jinping.
