CHINA'S RETALIATORY TARIFFS, AND MORE FROM CRS

This week China imposed tariffs on imports of various U.S. agricultural products in retaliation for Trump Administration tariffs on Chinese imports. Today the Administration announced that it would consider an additional $100 billion in tariffs on Chinese goods in response.

The impact of the Chinese tariffs on U.S. exports of pork meat, cherries, almonds, and ginseng, among other items, was detailed in a new brief from the Congressional Research Service. See China's Retaliatory Tariffs on Selected U.S. Agricultural Products, CRS Insight, April 4, 2018:
