China to impose additional 34% tariffs on US goods in retaliation for US tariffs

China has said it will add a 34% tariff on US goods starting from next week, in retaliation for Donald Trump's tariffs.

Its finance ministry said the US tariffs on Chinese products are "not in line with international trade rules".

US President Donald Trump has announced 54% tariffs on China, which include previous duties already in place. That makes China one of the hardest-hit countries on America's tariff list.

A spokesperson at the ministry of commerce said China has also filed a lawsuit with the World Trade Organization.
