President Donald Trump said Thursday he will expand tariffs to virtually all imports from China on September 1. The move is expected to raise the cost of household products ranging from cellphones to clothing.
The tariffs will hit roughly $300 billion worth of its Chinese imports, a move Trump had previously said he would hold off on throughout negotiations between the two sides. About $250 billion worth of Chinese goods are already subject to a 25% duty.
Companies and industry representatives testified before trade officials in Washington this year to warn that move could lead to higher prices and threaten US jobs. Economists say the burden of tariffs falls on importers at home.
Here is a list of the major items that would be targeted, according to documents from the Office of the US Trade Representative.
