President Trump decided to let a tariff increase go ahead and said his administration plans levies on an additional $325 billion in Chinese goods

WASHINGTON—President Trump decided to let a tariff hike on $200 billion of Chinese goods go into effect at 12:01 a.m. Friday even as trade negotiations resumed, and the president also threatened to move ahead with fresh levies on everything else China sells to the U.S. that isn’t already subject to tariffs.

U.S. and Chinese negotiators met Thursday and plan to meet again on Friday morning, but even so tariffs would increase to 25% from 10% as planned, a White House spokeswoman said.

Hang tough America. It is time to take on China; other countries should do the same.

China will reciprocate & guess who ends up getting hurt by Trump’s tariffs? The American Consumer & key exporters like farmers.

In other words he’s saying “F you American consumers and farmers.”

He worked his company to the ground and filed bankruptcy for losses. He's doing the same thing to America. Proof, look at the balloon deficit that Trump created created for the last 2 yrs

empiredecline Almost a reached a total rag magazine level.

WTF,Donny? The Clown POTUS

So now trump can do to America what he did to his own bank account. The best negotiator in the world can’t negotiate his way out of a wet paper bag! 😡

美国人不买,我们自己买

BillionDollarLoser NotMyPresident

wow

This will not help anything unless the tariff money goes to tax breaks on competitors made in the United States.

I think the markets are still not processing the reality of what is happening. This trade war is about to blow up on a whole new level never before seen

Face biger

China cheats and should pay for it. The tariffs are on a country not on product, manufacture domestically or import from somewhere else, if you can't do then it would show how weak US has become. Trump has anyways reduced corporates taxes so tariffs can make up for them.

Tariff Man to the rescue

Well get ready for higher prices at the stores, the economy and jobs are going to take a hit

LOOK WHAT THE CHINESE IS DOING IN THE CARIBBEAN ,DONT LET THE CHINESE RUN AMERICA OUT OF BUSINESS

Smooth-Hawley 2 with the same results.

DONT YOU SEE WHAT THE CHINSES ARE DOING IN THE CARIBBEAN,

Who pays the tariffs, the people buying the merchandise, good work sticking it to the American workers, their bills are going to go up 25%!

dont back down MR PRESIDENT

Are there still people who dont know that AMERICANS are actually paying the tariff, not the chinese?

500 usd salary per month, making garments, shoes, mobile phone,,,our workers like this job?

Idiotic. I'm surprised if he really follows through as his negotiation skills are limited to flattery, defamation, and brinksmanship.

He is actually working for USA. But main problem is to work just for USA. Because some people expect that he works for more wonderful world. Its an utopia.

全面贸易战开打。冷眼旁观!

Moron. The Chinese don’t pay tariffs. We do. Small businesses go under. We all lose. The Chinese? Nada.

Thanks for the tax increase Trump.

Definition of the day: Bat shit crazy.

🙄What could possibly go wrong with this Genius in charge? BillionDollarLooser

He is trying to tank our economy.

Tariffs are tax on American consumers and a drain on our economy! How much $ are countries and corporations throwing at people around Fred Trump’s son to get an exemption? Is he getting a cut through his businesses? America needs to know! Release all family/business tax returns

Why dont we just say Please China stop taking advantage of us...

Good news!

Dispointed about this news.

good

What if he takes them off in the next 15 mins? High potential for fake news here
