U.S. announces second round of tariffs on Chinese goods

The Trump administration is threatening to launch a second round of tariffs on Chinese goods, with a total value of $200 billion.

On July 10th, U.S Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer

released a list of thousands of additional goods

that could face 10% tariffs after a public comment period, which includes fruit and vegetables, handbags, refrigerators, furniture, baseball gloves and automotive parts and accessories.

The tariffs will not go into effect immediately but will undergo a two-month review process, with hearings August 20-23 at the U.S. International Trade Commission in Washington, DC.

The move comes after the United States

imposed 25% tariffs

on Chinese goods worth $34 billion last Friday. Beijing

immediately responded

with its own tariffs on U.S. goods worth $34 billion. Tuesday’s action makes good on a

statement

President Donald Trump made last month. He directed Lighthizer to identify $200 billion in Chinese goods for tariffs that would significantly impact China’s economy, if China retaliated against U.S. penalties that are meant to punish the country for intellectual property theft.
