Here's the real question:
President Trump says China was charging the US 67% tariffs BEFORE his reciprocal tariffs were announced.
Then, President Trump charged China a 34% tariff rate on Wednesday.
Today, China tariffs all US goods by 34%, and assuming this is on top of the 67% claimed by Trump, that's a total of 101%.
What does Trump do now?
