in response, officials in beijing are introducing a 15% tariff on imported coal and liquefied naturalricultural machinery, pick—up trucks and large—engine cars. products and added pvh corp, which is the holding company an investigation into google. against the us. yes, that 15% levy on coal, on liquid natural gas and then agricultural machinery and also large suv cars and trucks. speaking to analysts, they say that's about 30% an opening salvo from beijing because as well as imposing it is keeping negotiations, or at least the prospect of negotiations, open. so what does china do now and what does the us do now? what we have heard from the white house is that there are going to be at least a call, there's going to be now, whether or not that will be able to ease with canada and mexico. i asked professorjohn gong from the university of international business and economics in beijing if he was surprised at the scale and timing of china's response to president trump's tariffs. very much measured. i don't think it represents a very large amount. i think definitely, beijing keeps the door

what has been announced from beijing? >> that antitrust investigation into google, as well as a series of tariffs 10 to 15% on american agricultural machines, as well as oil, coal, lng, a couple of american companies added to this unreliable entity list and export control on tungsten-related materials, materials for solar panels, semiconductors. very precise, targeted measures although not expensive but it shows china will not back down without a fight. some editors expected maybe china will not retaliate so quickly. clearly this is a highly choreographed move given that china had waited exactly until after the tariff kicked in at 1:01 pm local beijing time before announcing these coordinated measures. this comes as trump said he plans to speak with president xi within 24 hours. that was several hours ago. he said if no deal is reached, that tariffs could be quote very substantial. 10% is just the starting point, it could go up or down from there, depending on how negotiations go. tom: china and beijing had a ready to mak

that's not something that beijing will want at this time. it will want to continue its current exports and its current export rate. so what does it do? have been issued today, beijing says it is open to talks. it urges the united states to meet china half way. and of course, there's been much talk here about a potential deal between the us and china. and that is because a 10% tariff is not the 60% that so many people are asking one, is this just the start? and two, what does donald trump want in return? is he trying to leverage china for something? now, one of the things that analysts believe is that the war in ukraine. that's because last time when he came as president, he came to beijing. so is he looking for a similar deal with also, there could be the potential that he's urging and there are other deals to be done, perhaps on tiktok. these are the kind of negotiations that many the us and china. is that it could reset relations between the two. it could stop the trade war spiralling if they go badly. well, it could set up a real competit
