US President Trump threatens to increase tariffs on China by 50% if China does not withdraw its retaliatory tariffs of 34% by 9 April. He also warns that any country retaliating against the US with tariffs will face new and higher tariffs.

1. I appreciate what the president is doing on tariffs … Australia has sold $29 billion worth of beef in the United States, and we haven't been able to sell one hamburger in Australia because of barriers … You look at these numbers, and the ranchers of Wyoming are saying thank you Mr President, it is about time!

1. We have stressed more than once that pressuring or threatening China is not a right way to engage with us. China will firmly safeguard its legitimate rights and interests.

1. We will eliminate the trade deficit with the US … We will do it very quickly and we will eliminate trade barriers.
2. I recognise the position of the United States. I'm a free trade champion and free trade has to be fair trade.
Donald Trump
Republican Party
1. Countries from all over the World are talking to us. Tough but fair parameters are being set.
2. If China does not withdraw its 34% increase above their already long term trading abuses by tomorrow, April 8th, 2025, the United States will impose ADDITIONAL Tariffs on China of 50%, effective April 9th.
3. Tough but fair parameters are being set. Spoke to the Japanese Prime Minister this morning. He is sending a top team to negotiate! They have treated the US very poorly on Trade. They don't take our cars, but we take MILLIONS of theirs. Likewise Agriculture, and many other 'things'. It all has to change, but especially with CHINA!!!
4. This isn't about engineering a market selloff—no one wants that, I didn't do this on purpose to crash anything. The markets might have to take some medicine, but it's going to heal, and we'll come out stronger. We're bringing jobs back, factories back. You watch, it's going to be amazing.
5. Unless we solve the trade deficit with China, I'm not making a deal. The Chinese trade surplus is unsustainable. They've been ripping us off for years, and it's got to stop....I won't sit down with them until we fix that.

1. But he is also going to listen to our trading partners, and if they come to us with really great deals that advantage American manufacturing and American farmers, I'm sure he'll listen.
