Trump raises tariffs on China to 145%

United States President Donald Trump has announced additional tariffs on China, bringing the total levies on Chinese goods to a staggering 145%.

The White House, on Thursday, April 10, 2025, clarified that it was actually imposing tariffs totalling 145 per cent on China, combining the previously announced 125-percent rate with a 20-per cent import tax levied for fentanyl smuggling.

Trump confirmed that his so-called reciprocal tariffs would return after a 90-day pause if deals were not reached to reduce the trade deficits between the United States and other countries.

The State Department said a U.S.-Iran meeting on Saturday in Oman will show if Tehran is “serious” about returning to nuclear talks.

A federal judge blocked Trump’s move to end humanitarian parole for hundreds of thousands of Haitians, Cubans, Venezuelans, and Nicaraguans currently living in the U.S.

Separately, another judge ruled that a mandate requiring undocumented people to register with the United States government can stand, Al Jazeera reported.

The U.S. stock market closed in a slump, erasing some gains in Wednesday’s rally, as the reality of a U.S.-China trade war sets in.
