WASHINGTON—The White House confirmed on April 10 that U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods have risen to 145 percent, factoring in the earlier 20 percent tariffs imposed in connection with fentanyl trafficking.
A White House official confirmed to The Epoch Times that the new tariff rate on Chinese products now totals 145 percent, not 125 percent as the president suggested on April 9. The executive order signed by Trump states that the reciprocal tariff rate increased overnight from 84 percent to 125 percent, which excludes the 20 percent fentanyl tariff.
