China retaliates against Trump with 84% tariff on US imports
Beijing has hit back at Trump's tariffs by announcing an 84% levy on US goods.
China announces an 84% tariff on US imports, to take effect on Thursday, after Donald Trump imposed a 104% tariff on Chinese goods entering the US. We'll hear from South Korea and from Germany on what they can do to protect themselves.
