China counterattacked Trump's tariffs on Chinese goods with their own levies. They've imposed up to 15% tariffs on US coal, natural gas, oil, and certain vehicles, subtly countering Trump's hefty 10% duty on Chinese imports. This move affects around £16 billion of US goods, a fraction compared to the £360 billion from China.
China didn't stop at tariffs; they're scrutinizing Google for monopolistic practices and targeting US brands with sanctions. Trump's stance? Unperturbed, suggesting negotiations might ease tensions. This economic sparring highlights the complexities of international trade politics.
