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


he was ready to slap tariffs on virtually all Chinese imports into the United States

WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump warned on Friday he was ready to slap tariffs on virtually all Chinese imports into the United States, threatening duties on another US$267bil of goods on top of US$200bil in imports primed for levies in coming days.

The moves would sharply escalate Trump’s trade war with Beijing over his demands for major changes in economic, trade and technology policy. China has threatened retaliation, which could include action against US companies operating there.
