On April 4, China announced that it will be imposing an additional 34% tariffs on all US goods effective April 10 as direct retaliation to Trump’s recent tariff.
On April 2, Trump introduced reciprocal tariffs on all goods around the globe into the US. The only countries exempted were North Korea and Russia.

China’s 34% tariffs on US goods, effective April 10, 2025, retaliate against Trump’s recent tariff policy, which imposed a 54% rate on Chinese imports starting April 9, as announced by the White House.
This escalation follows Trump’s April 2 “reciprocal tariff” plan, setting a 10% baseline tariff on all imports, with higher rates like 34% on China, risking a broader global trade war.
The move, confirmed by China’s finance ministry, marks a major escalation in the ongoing U.S.-China trade standoff.
