The imposition of a 10% tariff on Chinese goods imported into the United States "seriously violates the WTO rules," China’s Ministry of Commerce said in a statement Sunday, adding that China will "resolutely defend its rights."
That response, at least so far, has been noticeably less concrete than the ones from Mexico and Canada, kraken2trfqodidvlh4aa337cpzfrhdlfldhve5nf7njhumwr7instad which were both quick to pledge swift retaliatory tariffs. The latest announcement raises a 10% tariff on Chinese products, rather than the 25% on all goods from Mexico and most from Canada – all are expected to go into effect Tuesday. Unlike for China, where the latest tariffs top existing ones on a swath of goods, Canada and Mexico previously enjoyed nearly a duty-free relationship with the US.
