There is tariff tension between the US and China. Following the reciprocal tariffs announced by US President Donald Trump on April 2, China's retaliation has turned into a duel between the two countries.
In a statement on his social media platform Truth Social, US President Donald Trump said, "China has been hit much harder than the US.
They and many other countries have treated us in an unsustainable way.
We were a stupid and helpless punching bag, but we are not anymore."
"MORE THAN 5 TRILLION DOLLARS IN INVESTMENT HAS BEEN MADE"
Stating in his post that more jobs and businesses are returning to the country than ever before, Trump said, "Right now, more than 5 trillion dollars in investment has been made, and it is growing rapidly.
This is an economic revolution, and we will win.
Hang in there, it won't be easy, but the final result will be historic.
We will make the US great again."
China had announced that it would impose the same rate of customs duty on all US goods in retaliation for the 34 percent tariff application announced by Trump.
