BREAKING: Trump White House to impose 104% tariffs on China on April 9

President Donald Trump is set to impose an additional 104 percent tariff on goods imported to the US from China on April 9 starting that day at 12:01 am, according to a report.

White House correspondent for Fox Business Edward Lawrence posted to X, "When the tariffs go into effect at 12:01a April 9th. China will see an additional 104% added to imports. China missed it's 12p Eastern Time deadline to remove retaliation tariffs set by President Trump."

This comes as Trump has imposed tariffs on a number of different countries and has hit back at China after the nation said it would be imposing at 34 percent retaliatory tariffs on US goods imported to China.

Earlier this week, after China said that the country would be imposing the 34 percent tariff, Trump posted on Truth Social about the situation.

"Yesterday, China issued Retaliatory Tariffs of 34%, on top of their already record setting Tariffs, Non-Monetary Tariffs, Illegal Subsidization of companies, and massive long term Currency Manipulation, despite my warning that any country that Retaliates against the U.S. by issuing additional Tariffs, above and beyond their already existing long term Tariff abuse of our Nation, will be immediately met with new and substantially higher Tariffs, over and above those initially set,” Trump wrote.

"Therefore, if China does not withdraw its 34% increase above their already long term trading abuses by tomorrow, April 8th, 2025, the United States will impose ADDITIONAL Tariffs on China of 50%, effective April 9th. Additionally, all talks with China concerning their requested meetings with us will be terminated! Negotiations with other countries, which have also requested meetings, will begin taking place immediately. Thank you for your attention to this matter!" Trump added.

Other countries, unlike China, have offered to bring their trade barriers down against US goods. The EU has said that the bloc of nations can offer a “zero-for-zero" tariff agreement. India, Japan, Taiwan, and other countries have said that they are willing to negotiate with other countries to bring down trade barriers.
