Trump tariffs: US to charge 145% on Chinese goodshttps://www.dw.com/en/trump-tariffs-us-to-charge-145-on-chinese-goods/live-72194124
The White House clarified Thursday that the overall tariff imposed on most goods imported to the United States from China is 145%.
It comes a day after President Donald Trump said he was hiking the levy to 125%. The White House said that was on top of an existing 20% tariff.
Before the announcement China has said it will "fight to the end" if no compromise is reached.
On Wednesday Trump has abruptly backed down and announced a 90-day pause for all countries, except China, with a universal 10% tariff across the board

This guy is clueless, which stands to reason, given his 6 bankruptcies. He has only one strategy for those he owes money to- stiff them. That doesn't work when you run a government. China will eat his lunch, or maybe his face.

China:"Hey..Round-Eye...how about we sell off chunks of the $760 Billion in T-bills we own, and watch the dollar go down like a Wan Chi hooker? You likeee?"
trump: "Hamana...hamana....hamana...."
