Results: Tariff Man is back, and American consumers will pay for it!
Published on 08/05/2019
U.S. President Donald Trump said on Thursday he would impose an additional 10% tariff on $300 billion worth of Chinese imports starting Sept. 1, as talks aimed at easting tensions between the world’s two largest economies continue. Mr Trump tweeted that the tariffs applied to "the remaining 300 Billion Dollars of goods and products coming from China into our Country". Investors sold off well-known retail and tech stocks in response, because they would get hit hardest by the additional tariffs.
