Trump threatens extra 50% tariff on China

from dc · host Salai Dawtcemsang

Donald Trump threatens China with additional 50% tariffs if Beijing does not withdraw its 34% retaliatory tariffs on Washington. If imposed, it could leave some US companies bringing in certain goods from China facing a 104% tax. It comes as US markets drop sharply again on opening, while Europe's biggest stock markets - including London's FTSE 100 - have all closed over 4% down.Also in the programme: President Trump has been able to count on the support of Republicans in Congress since his inauguration. But are there signs of growing unease as the markets continue to tumble? And we go to South Africa for the Soccer Grannies World Cup, where the oldest player is over 80.(Photo: US President Trump meets 2024 World Series Champions - Los Angeles Dodgers, Washington, USA - 07 Apr 2025.
