New York (CNN) The Trump administration is readying another round of tariffs on Chinese goods worth $200 billion, ramping up the US-China trade war.
Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer on Tuesday released a list of additional goods that could face 10% tariffs after a public comment period. It includes seafood, fruit and vegetables, yarn, wool, rain jackets and baseball gloves.
The move comes after the United States imposed 25% tariffs on Chinese goods worth $34 billion last Friday. Beijing immediately responded with its own tariffs on US goods worth $34 billion.
Tuesday's action makes good on a threat President Donald Trump made last Friday. Beijing immediately responded with its own tariffs on US goods worth $34 billion.
