Washington blasts China over retaliatory tariffs on $3 billion worth of US goods

(Worthy News) – The United States has lashed out at Beijing after Chinese tariffs on $3 billion (€2.4 billion) worth of US goods entered force on Monday.

“Instead of targeting fairly traded US exports, China needs to stop its unfair trading practices which are harming US national security and distorting global markets,” White House deputy spokeswoman Lindsay Walters said.

China said on Sunday that it would start taxing 128 mostly agricultural US goods at midnight on Monday, including a 25 percent tariff rate on pork products and a new 15 percent tariff on fruits and nuts. [ Source: Deutche Welle (Read More…) ]
