The US will impose a 104% tariff on China beginning Wednesday, the White House said.

"There will be 104% tariffs going into effect on China tonight at midnight," spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt told reporters Tuesday.

President Donald Trump believes China "has to make a deal" with the US, Leavitt said. "It was a mistake for China to retaliate."
