WASHINGTON (TNND) — China announced Friday that it is once again retaliating against President Donald Trump by raising its tariffs on the U.S. to 125% from the 84% put in place on Wednesday.
“The U.S. alternately raising abnormally high tariffs on China has become a numbers game, which has no practical economic significance, and will become a joke in the history of the world economy,” a Finance Ministry spokesman said in a statement. “However, if the US insists on continuing to substantially infringe on China’s interests, China will resolutely counter and fight to the end.”
The U.S. and China continue to raise tariffs on each other even as Trump paused tariffs for 90 days on other countries.
In past comments, China has vowed to fight the American tariffs with its own countermeasures, calling Trump's actions "economic bullying."
The State Council Tariff Commission said Friday that if the U.S. continues to impose tariffs on Chinese goods exported to the U.S., China will ignore it.
Trump's universal tariffs on China total 145%
China's Commerce Ministry said it was filing another lawsuit with the World Trade Organization against the U.S. tariffs.
"There is no winner in a tariff war, and going against the world will only result in self-isolation," Chinese president Xi Jinping said during a meeting with Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez in Beijing.
