Fox News senior national correspondent Aishah Hasnie breaks down President Donald Trump's talks with the Italian prime minister and his trade deals on 'Special Report.'

China now faces tariffs of up to 245 per cent on exports to the United States, according to a White House fact sheet, in response to its retaliatory trade measures. The move follows Beijing’s directive to Chinese airlines to suspend further deliveries of Boeing aircraft,

This action was taken after China directed its airlines to cease any further deliveries of Boeing jets in response to the US imposing tariffs of 145% on Chinese goods.

China has shrugged off the latest U.S. tariff hike, dismissing the Trump administration's threats as a "meaningless tariff numbers game." Newsweek reached out to the White House by email with a request for comment.

President Donald Trump’s trade war with China has escalated even as other countries got a partial reprieve, threatening the relationship between U.S. manufacturers and retailers and one of America’s largest trading partners.

President Trump said he is in contact with the “highest levels” of the Chinese government about a potential deal to reduce tariffs, appearing to confirm that he is talking to Chinese President Xi Jinping himself.
