From September 1, the United States will introduce duties of 10% for goods from China in the amount of $ 300 billion

US President Donald Trump on Thursday reported that the United States will introduce new duties of 10% of goods from China worth $ 300 billion from September 1.

"Trade negotiations [with China] continue, and during these negotiations the United States will begin to introduce small additional duties of 10% on the remaining goods and products going to our country from China on September 1, in the amount of $ 300 billion," Trump wrote on his Twitter page. He indicated that the new decision does not include existing duties of 25% for goods worth $ 250 billion.

The US President also recalled that China has not fulfilled his promises to start buying agricultural products from the United States in large quantities and stop the sale of an opioid pyntalin, from which thousands of people die annually in the United States.

At the same time, Trump noted that he hopes to continue the positive dialogue by a comprehensive trading agreement with China, TASS reports.

China and the United States have been negotiating for several months on the settlement of trade disputes. The last (11th) round was held in the first half of May in the American capital, but after that the dialogue was at a dead end. On May 10, Washington introduced additional duties for Chinese products worth $ 200 billion, raising a rate from 10% to 25%. In early June, the Chinese government took response to more than 5 thousand US commodity positions in $ 60 billion.

The decision to resume consultations was achieved during the meeting of Trump and President of China Xi Jinping at the Summit of the Group twenty (G20) in Osaka, which was held on June 28-29. The American leader promised not to introduce new tariffs for goods from China, as well as mitigate the restrictions on Huawei's activities. In response, Beijing expressed his readiness to increase the volume of procurement of agricultural products from the United States.
