Trump threatens 50 per cent tariffs on China, vows to end talks if Beijing doesn't withdraw retaliatory duties

In a bold move, President Donald Trump has issued an ultimatum to China, threatening to impose an additional tariff of 50 per cent on Chinese imports if Beijing does not rescind its recently announced 34% tariff increase. The new tariffs, which China plans to implement in retaliation for U.S. tariffs, are set to take effect on April 9. Trump made the announcement on Truth Social, where he also declared that all talks with China regarding requested meetings would be terminated if China fails to withdraw its new tariff measures.
