China Hits Back With Tariffs and Google Investigation After US Trade Restrictions
China is gearing up to hit back at the U.S. with new tariffs on certain American imports, along with an antitrust investigation into Google set for Tuesday.
The move comes in response to a broad tariff hike on Chinese goods ordered by former U.S. President Donald Trump. Meanwhile, planned U.S. tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico were temporarily put on hold for 30 days after both countries took steps to address Trump’s concerns over border security and drug trafficking.
Trump is also preparing for talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping, with White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirming, “It’s being scheduled and will happen very soon.”
This isn’t the first time the two nations have clashed over trade. Back in 2018, they were locked in a heated tariff battle, with Trump repeatedly increasing duties on Chinese products and China responding in kind.

Former Kogi politician, Dino Melaye, faces backlash from the public after he shared a video on social media of him abroad and living well through his luxurious lifestyle.
