President Donald Trump isn’t playing games with Communist China anymore.
Trump is set to unleash a devastating 104% tariff on Communist China this Wednesday after Beijing ignored his “12 o’clock” deadline to lift its retaliatory tariffs.
According to Fox Business, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt dropped the bombshell earlier today, confirming that the tariffs kicked in at noon ET. Why? Because China’s commie overlords refused to back down from their own retaliatory duties on American goods.
According to FOX Business Network’s Edward Lawrence, the White House made the move swiftly and decisively.
“White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt says 104% additional tariffs went into effect at noon eastern time because China has not removed its retaliation,” Lawrence reported. “The 104% additional tariff will be collected starting tomorrow, April 9th.”
