BEIJING (AP) — China has responded to new U.S. tariffs by announcing it will impose additional tariffs of up to 15% on imports of key U.S. farm products. Those include chicken, pork, soy and beef. The tariffs will take effect from March 10. They follow U.S. President Donald Trump’s order to raise tariffs on imports of Chinese products to 20% across the board. Those took effect on Tuesday. China’s is a major importer of American farm products. One analyst says while the tariffs on U.S. farm products are sweeping, China held back from imposing higher ones across the board, and “both sides showed restraint.”
