The Chinese communist regime said on Tuesday that it will impose additional tariffs of up to 15 percent on some U.S. agricultural goods in response to the Trump administration’s tariff hikes.

In a statement, the Chinese Commerce Ministry said that imports of chicken, wheat, corn, and cotton from the United States will face an extra 15 percent tariff.
