That 125% tariff rate refers to this most recent round of tariffs rather than the tariff rate on Chinese goods overall, the White House confirmed Thursday, meaning that number does not include other tariffs that have previously been levied on China—most notably a 20% tariff that Trump levied because of China’s role in the fentanyl crisis.

China is reaching out to other nations as the U.S. layers on tariffs, in what appears to be an attempt by Beijing to form a united front to compel Washington to retreat.

Beijing, which imports far fewer goods from the U.S. than it exports, is considering a range of nontariff measures amid growing trade tensions between the world’s two biggest economies.

Trump has said he is authorising a universal "lowered reciprocal tariff of 10%" for most countries, except China, while tariff negotiations continue.

President Trump issued a 90-day pause on tariffs for most countries but raised tariffs on Chinese imports to 125%. FOX 9’s Bill Keller has more on the story.

Beijing also added an array of countermeasures after U.S. President Donald Trump raised the total tariff on imports from China to a total of 104%.

America’s trading partners around the globe reacted with a mixture of relief and bewilderment to President Donald Trump’s eleventh-hour decision to pause some of his most aggressive tariffs.

Chinese exporters scrambled to respond to crushing US tariffs by hiking prices, cancelling shipments and rerouting goods to other countries, as the world’s two biggest economies brace for economic divorce.

Trump's turnabout, which came less than 24 hours after steep new tariffs kicked in on most trading partners, followed the most intense episode of financial market volatility since the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic.
