Trump escalates tariffs

The screw tightens as the U.S. doubles down on its tariff measures on April 2, a so-called “Liberation Day", according to President Donald Trump.

Under Trump's plan, the U.S. will add a new 34 percent tariff on Chinese goods, on top of the 20 percent tariff that he has already imposed on Beijing in recent months.

The PLA Eastern Theater Command made the announcement hours ago on Wednesday, a day after launching joint military exercises around the island on Tuesday.
