translated from Spanish: Trump responded to China with a new order to raise tariffs on that country’s products

US President Donald Trump announced an imminent increase in tariffs on imports from China on Friday, hours after the Chinese government announced a similar and full-scale measure of political tensions and between the two powers.
“China should not have put new tariffs on $75 billion of U.S. products,” Trump said on Twitter, alluding to a move he has attributed to political reasons. Specifically, Beijing will impose additional tariffs of between 5% and 10% on 5,078 products as of 1 September.
Trump has confirmed that on the same day, Chinese goods and products that have hitherto been tied to a 10 percent levy — valued at “$300 billion” — will rise to 15 percent. A month later, on October 1, goods subject to a 25% tariff – in addition to $250 billion” – will be subject to 30%.
“For many years, China – and many other countries – have taken advantage of the United States in trade, intellectual property theft, and much more. Our country has lost hundreds of billions of dollars each year to China,” said Trump, who did not see “an end in sight” to this alleged imbalance.
For this reason, it has framed the new measures in an interest in achieving “balanced trade” and avoiding “a great burden on the American taxpayer.” “As president, I can’t let this happen,” he added in his messages.
