Tue Mar 04 06:11:23 UTC 2025: ## China Retaliates Against US Tariffs with Higher Duties on Farm Products
**Beijing, March 4, 2025** – China announced today it will impose retaliatory tariffs on key US agricultural imports, escalating the ongoing trade war between the two economic giants. The new tariffs, ranging from 10% to 15%, will affect a wide range of products including chicken, pork, soy, beef, wheat, corn, cotton, sorghum, seafood, fruits, vegetables, and dairy products. These measures are set to come into effect on March 10th.
The Chinese Commerce Ministry’s announcement follows President Trump’s recent decision to increase tariffs on all Chinese imports by 20%, a move that took effect today. China’s countermeasures represent a significant escalation in the trade dispute and are expected to further impact the global economy.
