Trump ups ante on China, threatens duties on nearly all imports

23 Sept 04:28 Key points summarised by AI

President Trump escalated the trade war, threatening tariffs on an additional $267 billion of Chinese imports, potentially covering virtually all goods entering the U.S.
This new threat adds to $200 billion in imports already slated for duties and $50 billion already taxed, totaling $517 billion, exceeding last year's total imports from China.
The expanded tariffs would include major consumer products like cell phones, significantly broadening the scope and impact of the trade dispute.
Financial markets reacted negatively to the announcement, with U.S. stock prices dipping and the Chinese yuan weakening against the dollar.
