BlockBeats News, April 7th, President Trump stated on social media: "Yesterday, on top of existing record tariffs, non-monetary barriers, illegal subsidies to companies, and long-term substantial currency manipulation, China once again imposed a 34% retaliatory tariff — despite my earlier warnings: if any country imposes additional retaliatory tariffs on top of long-term tariff pressure on the U.S., the U.S. will immediately impose even harsher new tariffs."
Therefore, if China does not withdraw this 34% additional tariff by April 8th, 2025, the U.S. will impose an additional 50% tariff on China starting on April 9th. In addition, all requested meeting negotiations by the Chinese side will be terminated, and the U.S. will immediately initiate negotiation procedures with other requested meeting countries."
