President Trump announced in a statement Monday night that, in addition to the administration's recently-announced tariffs on $50 billion worth of imports from China, he has also directed the United States Trade Representative "to identify $200 billion worth of Chinese goods for additional tariffs at a rate of 10 percent."

Why it matters: Trump initially warned China against retaliating to his administration's latest round of sanctions, but China ignored it and imposed their own tariffs of equal measure. This latest threat is Trump's second warning, in which he clearly states: "these tariffs will go into effect if China refuses to change its practices, and also if it insists on going forward with the new tariffs that it has recently announced."

The bottom line: The back-and-forth tariff fight between the U.S. and China is increasingly looking like a trade war.
