Trump is threatening to jack up tariffs on China by an additional 50% unless Beijing abandons its retaliatory duties on U.S. imports.

Trump in a Truth Social post gave China until Tuesday to undo its 34% tariffs, imposed in response to the “reciprocal” duties unveiled at the White House last week.

Trump also wrote that he will cancel all planned talks with China if they do not comply with his demand.

        i doubt very much that they want a nuclear wasteland next to them nor do they have any history of using nuclear weapons; however europe’s ally does and they’re already in the process of screwing over europe more than russia could ever hope to achieve.
