Washington (USA), 9 April (LaPresse) – The United States will go ahead with the imposition of 104% tariffs on imports from China.

The deadline that had been imposed by Donald Trump was set for noon today. The president had announced further tariffs of 50% in response to Chinese countermeasures and in addition to the already decided 54% tariffs.
