China issued a warning on Tuesday night that it stands ready for any "type of war" with the United States in the aftermath of tariffs imposed hours earlier by the Trump administration. A spokesperson for the Chinese foreign ministry said the tariffs would not lead to a resolution of U.

Lin made the comments after an additional 10% tariff on Chinese imports to the U.S. took effect Tuesday, prompting China to announce it would increase import duties by 10-15% on several key American agricultural food products, plus expand export controls on 15 U.S. firms in retaliation.

President Trump has doubled tariffs on China to 20% and confirmed 25% duties on imports from Mexico and Canada, citing fentanyl trafficking and trade imbalances.
