(Worthy News) – President Trump is ready to slap tariffs on nearly $50 billion in Chinese goods, according to reports, reigniting fears of a trade war between the world’s two largest economies.
The president is due to announce the tariffs after the original batch — on about 1,300 Chinese products — was put on hold for trade talks.
