WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump fired another shot in an ongoing trade war with China on Tuesday, as his administration released a list of $200 billion in Chinese goods subject to 10% tariffs.

"This is an appropriate response under the authority of Section 301 to obtain the elimination of China’s harmful industrial policies," said U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer, claiming that Chinese trade policies represent a national security threat to the United States.

China, which has denied U.S. accusations of unfair trade policies, has retaliated against previous tariffs with levies on U.S. goods, and can be expected to do so again.

The proposed tariff list that President Trump ordered last month ranges from Chinese air conditioners to leather goods.

No backing down.

Should have been done 10 years ago.

Xi wants to derail the NK peace treaty well he can shove those tarrifs up his people's arse as Xi's economy plummets and those businesses move to other countries. Xi is playing a game he can't win here and Trump knows it.

He's doing a great job at damaging the relationships Alaskan business has created with China over the past few years.

Obama never had the balls to do this or we wouldn't have to be doing it today.

China needs us more than we need them. We can always find another 3rd world asian country to make shite goods. China needs the huge buying power of USA for their shite goods.

They would be fricked if their shite sat in docks/boats/etc

Trump waits this out and he will get better deals than the bullshite we have now. The Past presidents should all be ashamed of themselves for allowing this.

One of the worst is importing shitty steel, while we have quality steel factories halting production.
