104% Tariffs on China Start Tonight, White House Says

Look, I just spoke to the president about this and he believes that China wants to make a deal with the United States. He believes China has to make a deal with the United States. It was a mistake for China to retaliate. The president, when America is punched, he punches back harder. That's why there will be 104 percent tariffs going into effect on China tonight at midnight. But the president believes that she and China want to make a deal. They just don't know how to get that started. And the president also wanted me to tell all of you that if China reaches out to make a deal, he'll be incredibly gracious, but he's going to do what's best for the American people. So China has to call first? The Chinese want to make a deal, they just don't know how to do it, but the president will be implementing these 104 percent tariffs on China.
