World leaders reacted to wide tariff President Donald Trump, which compulsorily affects every American business partner issued this week.
The White House has clearly implemented a flat 10% tariff on all imports, although some countries have seen a lot of taxes on their American exports – including Vietnam, which was released a 46% tariff one day when it reduced its tariff on American imports.
However, no nation was given more import tax than China, which Trump revealed that the US would have an additional 34% blanket tariff on its exports at the top of the 20% tariff imposed by the President earlier this year. This brings up a total tariff of 54% on imported Chinese goods in the US – 60% of Trump pledged on the campaign mark.
