Donald Trump has wasted no time in responding after China announced plans to impose 34 percent tariffs on imports of all US products from April 10.<\/strong><\/p>\n

China’s<\/a>\u00a0announcement today (April 4) came after the\u00a0POTUS declared tariffs<\/a>\u00a0against dozens of countries as part of what he dubbed ‘Liberation Day’ in the US on April 2.<\/p>\n

The president announced that China would be subject to 54 percent tariffs on all imports into the US, but\u00a0China quickly responded<\/a>\u00a0to make clear that it ‘firmly opposes’ the new measure.<\/p>\n

China promised it would ‘take countermeasures to safeguard its own rights and interests’, leading to the 34 percent tariffs announced today.<\/p>\n

As well as the new tariff against the\u00a0US<\/a>, Beijing\u2019s commerce ministry shared plans to impose more export controls on rare earth materials which can be used in\u00a0tech<\/a>\u00a0products such as computer chips and electric vehicle batteries.<\/p>\n

The country also revealed that it had filed a lawsuit with the World Trade Organization (WTO) over the tariffs, claiming they ‘violate WTO rules’.<\/p>\n

The Chinese commerce ministry said: \u201cThe United States\u2019 imposition of so-called \u2018reciprocal tariffs\u2019 seriously violates WTO rules, seriously damages the legitimate rights and interests of WTO members, and seriously undermines the rules-based multilateral trading system and international economic and trade order.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a typical unilateral bullying practice that endangers the stability of the global economic and trade order. China firmly opposes this.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the wake of China’s response, Trump has now taken to\u00a0Truth Social<\/a>\u00a0to share his thoughts on the way the country has reacted to his tariffs.<\/p>\n

“CHINA PLAYED IT WRONG,” Trump claimed, adding: “THEY PANICKED – THE ONE THING THEY CANNOT AFFORD TO DO!”<\/p>\n

The tariffs confirmed today by China come after the country previously announced a 15 percent tariff on imports of coal and liquefied natural gas products from the US, and a 10 percent tariff on crude oil, agricultural machinery and large-engine\u00a0cars<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Trump’s response to China’s latest tariff announcement came after a series of other posts in which he insisted the measures he’s taking to help boost the economy in the US, including a\u00a0$5 million ‘Gold Card’,<\/a>\u00a0are going to plan.<\/p>\n

“TO THE MANY INVESTORS COMING INTO THE UNITED STATES AND INVESTING MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF MONEY, MY POLICIES WILL NEVER CHANGE. THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO GET RICH, RICHER THAN EVER BEFORE!!!,” he wrote in one post after waking up today.<\/p>\n

In another, he added: “GREAT JOB NUMBERS, FAR BETTER THAN EXPECTED. IT\u2019S ALREADY WORKING. HANG TOUGH, WE CAN\u2019T LOSE!!!”<\/p>\n
