Trump trashes China for ignoring his warning not to retaliate over tariffs

Donald Trump has rebuked China for not heeding his warning not to retaliate over tariffs.

In a post on his Truth Social platform on Monday morning, the U.S. president called China “the biggest abuser of all.”

“They’ve made enough, for decades, taking advantage of the Good OL’ USA! Our past “leaders” are to blame for allowing this, and so much else, to happen to our Country.,” he wrote.

Trump annnounced on April 2 an additional 34 percent tariff on Chinese goods, on top of two rounds of 10 percent tariffs already declared in February and March.

China on Friday announced its own 34 percent sweeping tariff rate on U.S. goods.
