Trump threatens China with additional 50% tariffs

US President Donald Trump says he will impose additional tariffs on China, from Tuesday, if Beijing does not withdraw its 34% retaliatory tariffs on the US.

The additional tariffs on Beijing would be of 50%, Trump says.

China announced on Friday that it would be imposing such tariffs on Washington after the White House said that from 9 April it would put 34% levies on all goods coming from Beijing.
