The Chinese had previously indicated they would unveil reciprocal tariffs after Trump announced that steel imports will be taxed at 25 percent and aluminum imports at 10 percent.

U.S. and international lawmakers warned Trump against implementing the tariffs, saying they could spark a trade war. Trump brushed aside those concerns, saying trade wars are “good and easy to win.”

Several countries have since negotiated temporary exemptions from the steel and aluminum tariffs.

In addition, Trump announced late last month his administration plans to target China in particular with tens of billions of dollars in tariffs and penalties on imports to try to curb its efforts to steal intellectual property from U.S. companies.
