China’s new tariffs on US goods to come into effect as Trump pauses measures for other countries – business live
<p>China’s 84% retaliatory tariffs on US goods, announced on Wednesday, are due to come into effect on Thursday</p><p><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/apr/09/trump-tariffs-pause-china">Read the latest full report</a></p><p>In a stunning U-turn, Trump has reversed high tariffs on most nations – at least for 90 days. But the focus is now on China, the second-biggest provider of US imports, of which the pause does not apply.</p><p>Instead, Trump has raised tariffs on China to 125%, while China has announced new tariffs of 84% on all US imports, further escalating a high-stakes confrontation between the world’s two largest economies.</p><p><em>For President Xi, there is only one politically viable response to Trump’s latest threat: Bring it on! Having already surprised domestic audiences with a forceful 34% reciprocal tariff, any appearance of backing down would be politically untenable,” says Diana Choyleva, founder and chief economist at Enodo Economics, a forecasting firm.”</em></p><p><strong>Global markets surged after Trump announced his 90-day tariff pause.</strong> The S&P 500 surged 5.6%, while the Nasdaq has jumped over 8%. Trump’s <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/business/live/2025/apr/09/stock-share-markets-us-china-trade-trump-tariffs-business-news-live-updates?page=with%3Ablock-67f6aebd8f08ecc65185a181#block-67f6aebd8f08ecc65185a181">Truth Social statement </a>suggests he has backed down on tariffs on most countries for 90 days, applying instead a 10% tariff.</p><p><strong>However, Trump’s pause does not apply to China, which has</strong> <strong>announced new tariffs of 84% on imports of all US goods, up from the 34% previously announced, hours after US tariffs on Chinese products went up to a staggering 104%.</strong> China’s retaliation sent stock markets falling further with major indices down in the UK, Germany, France and Spain.</p><p><strong>China’s 84% tariffs on US imports will come into effect at 12.01pm on Thursday</strong>, according to Chinese state news agency, Xinhua.</p><p>The two countries have traded tit-for-tat tariff hikes repeatedly over the past week. <strong>“I want to emphasize that there is no winner in a trade war, and that China does not want a trade war. But the Chinese government will by no means sit by when the legitimate rights and interests of its people are being hurt and deprived,”</strong> an official of China’s ministry of commerce said in a statement on Wednesday.</p><p><strong>Addressing reporters at the White House on Wednesday, treasury secretary Scott Bessent said the latest changes in Donald Trump’s tariffs policy was Trump’s “strategy all along.”</strong> He said: “This was his strategy all along, and that you might even say that he goaded China into a bad position, they responded.”</p><p><strong>The WTO chief said the US-China tariff war could reduce trade in goods between the two economic giants by 80%, pulling down the rest of the world economy. </strong>Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala said that the US-China tariff war could reduce trade in goods between the two countries by 80%.</p><p><strong>The EU announced 25% tariffs on a range of US imports in a first round of countermeasures. </strong>The 27-member bloc has agreed to impose retaliatory tariffs on €21bn (£18bn) of US goods, targeting farm produce and products from Republican states. All member states voted for the retaliation, with the exception of Hungary.</p><p><strong>Trump’s 90-day pause on tariffs may not exempt the 25% tariff on cars, Ireland’s deputy prime minister has revealed,</strong> <strong>after a face-to-face meeting with US commerce secretary Howard Lutnick. </strong>Simon Harris, the first EU politician to meet anyone in Trump’s administration since the tariffs were announced last Wednesday, said he spoke to the European trade minister Maroš Šefčovič immediately after his bilateral meeting in Washington today.</p><p><strong>Trump has in particular targeted the pharmaceutical industry, saying: “We’re going to put tariffs on the pharmaceutical companies, and they’re going to all want to come back.” It’s an <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/live/2025/apr/08/donald-trump-threatens-tariffs-50-per-cent-china-us-politics-latest-updates-news">idea he has raised</a></strong><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/live/2025/apr/08/donald-trump-threatens-tariffs-50-per-cent-china-us-politics-latest-updates-news"> before</a>.</p><p><strong>US markets recovered later on Wednesday after Bessent indicated America was open to trade agreements</strong> <strong>with allies and a subsequent group deal with <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/china">China</a>.</strong> In his first comments since China’s 84% tariff announcement, Trump urged Americans to “be cool”.
