Trump has indicated plans to implement sector-specific tariffs on products such as semiconductor chips.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this month, the White House announced a baseline 10% tariff on foreign imports, along with higher reciprocal tariffs targeting dozens of countries, including major trading partners. Trump later said those higher tariffs would be lowered to 10% for 90 days to allow time for negotiations.<\/p>\n<p>That reduction, however, did not apply to China. Instead, Trump upped tariffs on Chinese imports to 125%, in addition to a 20% levy, prompting a retaliatory response from Beijing.<\/p>\n<p>This escalation has heightened fears of a full-scale trade war between the world\u2019s two largest economies.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Eritrea<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Eritrea.
