China has reacted negatively to President Donald Trump’s reciprocal tariffs, with the country’s Communist Party-controlled foreign ministry accusing the U.S. of “bullying.”
Trump unveiled a 34 percent tariff on Chinese goods at his “Liberation Day” event from the White House Rose Garden on Wednesday in response to China’s 67 percent tariff on American products.
“In other words, they charge us, we charge them, we charge them less, how can anybody be upset,” the president said.
