Golf carts to soybeans: products targeted in US-China trade war | |
(35 minutes later) | |
The tit-for-tat trade dispute between the US and China has moved up a gear. President Donald Trump’s administration is imposing tariffs of 25% on 1,333 Chinese products – imports currently worth $50bn (£36bn) a year. | |
China immediately hit back, slapping its own 25% tariff on 106 items imported from the US, also worth $50bn a year. | |
The US list ranges from torpedoes to dishwashers, in retaliation for what it claims is decades of intellectual property theft. The full list is here. | |
The Chinese list includes soybeans – America’s biggest agricultural export to China, worth $14bn last year. The full list (in Chinese) is here. | |
