Beijing: China’s Ministry of Finance has announced tariffs on a range of U.S. products in immediate retaliation to the 10% tariff imposed on Chinese imports by U.S. President Donald Trump.

The tariffs, which target several key American goods, come as part of escalating trade tensions between the two countries. China’s response is seen as a direct countermeasure to protect its economy and respond to the U.S. administration’s moves. This marks a significant escalation in the ongoing trade war between the U.S. and China.
