China responds to Trump tariffs with proposed list of 128 US products to target
China is ‘firing back’ after US announces tariffs on steel and aluminum
The world’s second-largest economy has responded to President Donald Trump’s controversial trade tariffs.
China’s commerce ministry proposed a list of 128 U.S. products as potential retaliation targets, according to a statement on its websiteposted Friday morning.
The U.S. goods, which had an import value of $3 billion in 2017, include wine, fresh fruit, dried fruit and nuts, steel pipes, modified ethanol, and ginseng, the ministry said. Those products could see a 15 percent duty, while a 25 percent tariff could be imposed on U.S. pork and recycled aluminium goods, according to the statement.
