White House confirms 245% tariff on some Chinese imports 

Some imports from China now face a maximum tariff rate of up to 245%, a White House official confirmed Wednesday.

A fact sheet posted on the White House website Tuesday mentioned that Chinese imports face a maximum 245% tariff, far beyond the 145% upper threshold previously reported. That figure included a 125% reciprocal tariff imposed by President Donald Trump this month as well as additional 20% fentanyl-related tariffs.
