The Chinese government announced the tariffs last week, shortly after President Trump raised tariffs on Chinese products for the second time since he took office in January. The Chinese tariffs will include a levy of 15 percent on U.S. products like chicken, wheat and corn, as well as 10 percent on products like soybeans, pork, beef and fruit.

China started imposing tariffs on farm products from the United States Monday. The move followed tariffs ordered by the Trump administration last month on the nearly $440 billion worth of Chinese goods imported by the U.

The leaders of Canada and Mexico have held talks with the Trump administration to stave off tariffs, but China has instead embarked on a tit-for-tat approach.
