A Timeline Of Us-china Tit-for-tat Tariffs Since Trump's First Term

China's tit-for-tat duties on U.S. imports took effect Monday, just hours after U.S. President Donald Trump announced that he wants to slap new duties on all steel and aluminum imports to the U.S.

The rapid-fire shots of tariffs and import curbs hearken back to Trump's first term in office, when the U.S. and China engaged in a trade war that spanned most of Trump's first four years in office and was continued to a certain extent under his successor, Joe Biden.

Less than a month after returning to the White House on Jan. 20, Trump slapped 10 duties on all Chinese imports, a move that's expected to raise prices on goods including laptops, toys and fast fashion .

China responded with 15 duties on coal and liquefied natural gas products , and a 10 tariff on crude oil, agricultural machinery and large-engine cars imported from the U.S.

Beijing also launched an anti-monopoly investigation into Google and added PVH, the owner of U.S. fashion brands Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein, to its "unreliable entity" list. China also restricted the exports of five rare metals used as key components in the defense and clean energy industries among others.
