U.S. President Donald Trump has made his final decision to impose tariffs worth 50-billion U.S. dollars on Chinese goods.
President Trump made the decision during a meeting with his top trade officials at the White House on Thursday, local time.
The Trump administration is expected to unveil its tariff list on Friday...
It reportedly contains 800 product categories, with newly added categories targeting the technology sector.
The move is likely to worsen the United States' deteriorating relations with its trade partners.
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said China is ready to respond if President Trump goes ahead with the tariffs.
