Tensions Rise in US-China Trade Relations Amid New Tariff Threats

Amid escalating trade tensions, China has pledged to retaliate against a series of new tariffs announced by President Trump, including a doubling of existing rates linked to the opioid crisis. Reports indicate that China is considering targeting U.S. agricultural exports as part of its countermeasures, potentially impacting American farmers. As importers scramble to adjust to the looming tariffs, manufacturers are exploring ways to circumvent the costs, with some moving operations to countries like Cambodia. The situation continues to evolve as both nations prepare for a potentially prolonged trade standoff.
