China's Customs Tariff Commission is increasing the tariff rate on eight imported U.S. products, including pork, by 25 percent. It's also imposing a new 15 percent tariff on 120 imported U.S. commodities, including fruits..

Good, let the world realize for once, in a very long time, that they need us way more than we need them.

They will eventually bend the knee and the USA will prevail

Bizarre seeing the radical left who have been okay with droning Muslims since 2009 and pushing for war with Russia for over a year now calling Bolton a war hawk.

Good. I'll pay an extra .50 for a throw-away screwdriver to keep our bacon state-side. Maybe the price will come down.

So perishable goods?

I love articles that omit the most important bit: the $ amount of trade impacted.

why not just stop sending them food? In fact, we should just stop food shipments to the entire world for six months and see how they like it.

According to globalist wisdom, this will tank the Chinese economy, right? Because tariffs are always bad?

Trump wanted a trade war, China will give him his war and everyone involved will lose.

saw this on cnbc, they said that according to china the goods affected that were imported from the us amounted to about $3 billion (2017)

iirc from the initial announcement, we import about $1 billion in chinese steel (also 2017), and i don't know about aluminum

supposedly this is a response to the steel/aluminum tariffs, not the second round of tariffs

Hope Trump puts insane tariffs on them. There's not a fricking thing they make that we can't...Harbor Freight may be upset though??
