US-China trade war to hurt American farmers

World Business Report

Available for over a year

The trade war between the US and China has become far more rancorous in the last 24 hours. The US has said it will impose a 25% tariff on around 1,300 separate Chinese goods - from robotics to flat screen TVs. China has replied with 100 targeted tariffs, including planes, cars and soybeans. American farmers, already operating in financial difficulties, worry this will hurt them further. The ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s Vivienne Nunis talked to Roger Johnson, president of the National Farmers Union. (Picture credit: Scott Olson/ Getty Images)
