The White House is signaling that new tariffs on Chinese imports are taking effect after China's government missed a deadline to lift its retaliatory tariffs that were imposed in response to President Donald Trump's tariffs. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Tuesday that because China declined to lift its retaliatory tariff, the president's additional 50% tariff levied on top of previously imposed tariffs of 20% and 34% took effect, bringing the total tariff on Chinese goods to 104%. She added that the tariffs took effect at noon Eastern Time on Tuesday, with tariff collection set to begin on Wednesday. Leavitt said that U.S. trading partners should be coming to the administration with deals to improve trade terms.
