当地时间5月5日星期日，特朗普发推，宣布将于周五将第二批2000亿美元自华进口货物额外加征关税税率从10%提高至25%，并威胁将对剩余的3250亿美元自中国进口货物额外加征25%关税。
President Donald Trump said Sunday that tariffs on $200 billion of Chinese goods will increase to 25% on Friday, despite repeated claims by the administration that trade talks with Beijing were going well.
The tariff rate on those goods was originally set at 10%. Trump had originally threatened to increase the tariffs at the start of the year, but postponed that decision after China and the US agreed to sit down for trade talks.
In addition, Trump threatened to impose 25% tariffs on an additional $325 billion of Chinese goods “shortly.”
After Trump’s tweets, White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow said on Fox News that the president is “issuing a warning.” While “great progress” has been made in the talks, structural and enforcement issues remain, he said.
