Trump slammed the "unfair Trading Relationship," and said "China should not have put new Tariffs on 75 BILLION DOLLARS of United States product (politically motivated!)."
The promised response -- which came in a signature Trump tweetstorm -- said existing 25 per cent tariffs on USD 250 billion in Chinese goods will increase to 30 per cent starting October 1.
