Trump calls China “biggest abuser” on tariffs

US President Donald Trump called China "the biggest abuser of them all" on tariffs Monday after Beijing retaliated last week against his levies in an escalating trade war.

Trump singled out China, which has targeted the United States with a 34 percent tariff in response to Washington's levying of the same amount, saying in a post on his Truth Social network it had not acknowledged "my warning for abusing countries not to retaliate."
