China announces tariff retaliation to take effect on June 1

The tariffs will take effect on June 1, according to a statement on the Ministry of Finance’s website on Monday. The tariffs will be imposed on some of the goods listed on a previous retaliation list from 2018.

The yearlong trade frictions between the world’s two biggest economies re-escalated last week when the Trump administration announced a 25% punitive tariff on thousands of Chinese products. The U.S. is set to release a plan to levy a 25% additional tariff on all remaining imports from China on Monday.
