The Trump administration announced that the tariffs on some 5,000 Chinese-made goods will start at 10 per cent, beginning Monday. Trump imposed 25 per cent duties on $50 billion of Chinese products in July. Beijing retaliated with similar penalties on the same amount of American goods. The tariffs focused on industrial products, not on things Americans buy at the mall or via Amazon. By expanding the list to $200 billion of Chinese products, Trump may spread the pain to ordinary households.
