Beijing retaliated with an 84% import tariff after Trump had pushed up 104% on Chinese goods to the US
Based on the lack of respect that China has shown to the World's Markets, I am hereby raising the Tariff charged to China by the United States of America to 125%, effective immediately. At some point, hopefully in the near future, China will realize that the days of ripping off the U.S.A., and other Countries, is no longer sustainable or acceptable.

Conversely, and based on the fact that more than 75 Countries have called Representatives of the United States, including the Departments of Commerce, Treasury, and the USTR, to negotiate a solution to the subjects being discussed relative to Trade, Trade Barriers, Tariffs, Currency Manipulation, and Non Monetary Tariffs, and that these Countries have not, at my strong suggestion, retaliated in any way, shape, or form against the United States, I have authorized a 90 day PAUSE, and substantially lowered Reciprocal Tariff during this period, of 10%, also effective immediately.
Thank you for your attention to this

Donald Trump

I like when a country is powerful and also brags with it. Trump is just like a lion king in the pride,he knows he's the most powerful and so commands respect from the whole pride,and banishes any dissenting lion from the pride, like the case of young male lions who are usually exiled from the pride when they re becoming too stubborn for the king.

Trump just want to use the tarriff to show the world that USA is the one calling the shots in world affairs and rebels like China would be dealt with decisively if they don't respect USA.

China will later seek for dialogue with USA when she sees that it has been isolated by USA. We go watch how this chess game unfolds.

I believe Russia is already under so many sanctions so there isn’t much you can do to them right now. Thats the danger of overusing sanctions🤷🏽‍♂️

When will useless Nigeria raise theirs.
This is ignorance in full display.

If Nigeria raise theirs, na me and you go suffer am because we are import dependent.

It means prices of stuffs will increase across board.

Tariff hikes isn't kiddies toy game. It has far reaching consequences.

It may seem clownish to you but these guys are fighting for the future of their countries.

China is on the verge of becoming the world leader but America isn't ready to give that up soon.

Millions or perhaps billions of destinies are tied to this stuff you view as a joke.

It's a winner takes it all battle.

My surprise is that the other arms of government that are suppose to checkmate trump are just watching, my guess is they are hoping they can enjoy the benefits if this tarrif madness works but worst case hoping they can throw in the towel at the last minute to come across as the saviors.

Between you and China, who has shown a lack of respect to the world's markets? He's always blaming others for his actions.

US already has sweeping sanctions on not just Russia but anyone that does business with them (Energy ). It makes zero sense to impose tariffs on them while on trade sanctions.

I don't just get it. How is this sustainable? Is he expecting hundreds of well-equipped factories to magically spring up overnight in USA?

And what does he mean by disrespect to "world" markets. I thought he loved to work alone. This is so irrational

The Internet is awash with theories that Trump manipulated the stock market for himself and friends to buy at low prices. Makes a lot of sense

I personally believe that someone out there has something on Trump and is playing him like a fiddle because all of this is just abnormal.

But then again the most shocking aspect of all this is that noone is curbing his excesses which is just strange.

This man is just an inconsistent clown and will achieve very little treating the world like some sort of poker game.

As for China, they will continue calling his bluff.

Fake 75 countries.
Every sane person knows that he is lying through his teeth.
The childish man claimed they were begging him on their knees, yet he couldn't name one of them who did.

Why will he pause the tariffs that was designed to bring manufacturing and jobs back to the US?
Is he tired of winning?
