China will impose additional tariffs of up to 15% on some U.S. goods, its government said, while Canada vowed tariffs of up to 25% after new U.S. tariffs on both countries took effect.

The new Chinese levies, which take effect on March 10, include a 15% tariff on chicken, wheat, corn and cotton and a 10% tariff on sorghum, soybeans, pork, beef, fruits, vegetables, and dairy and fish products. Chinese state media had reported earlier that U.S. agricultural products would be targeted.

Canada said it would move ahead with an earlier plan to impose 25% tariffs on 155 billion Canadian dollars ($107 billion) in American goods if the U.S. tariff took effect as scheduled.

Enjoy it Trump voting farmers.

    Here’s a question.

    Trump believes that tariffs are paid for by the selling country’s government, right? He keeps saying that foreign governments are either writing these checks to pay the tariffs, or are going to.

    Why hasn’t anybody asked Trump if the US government has written checks to Canada, China, Mexico, etc. to pay for the retaliatory tariffs? And if/when he says “No”, what the hell makes him think the other countries do?
