US President Donald Trump’s steep tariff hike targeting Chinese goods, which took effect Thursday, brings Washington’s additional rate on many products to 145 percent, the White House confirms.<\/p>\n
Trump’s 90-day halt in fresh duties for dozens of countries has come into place, a White House order showed.<\/p>\n
But he has also doubled down by raising new tariffs on Chinese imports to 125 percent, a figure that stacks atop a 20 percent additional duty from earlier in the year over China’s alleged role in the fentanyl supply chain.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This takes the total tariffs Trump has imposed on Chinese products this year to 145 percent, stacking on existing levies from past administrations.<\/p>\n
But the latest 125 percent figure on China, aimed at addressing practices Washington has deemed unfair, contains notable exclusions.<\/p>\n
It excludes products like steel and aluminum imports, as well as autos, which Trump slapped separate 25 percent tariffs on under separate regimes.<\/p>\n
The number also does not apply to goods such as copper, pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, lumber, and energy products — some of which Trump has signaled plans to target separately too.\u00a0<\/p>\n
All of this paints a more complicated picture of tariff levels, even as tensions soar between Washington and Beijing.<\/p>\n
