China Raises Tariffs on US Imports to 125 Percent; 3 Killed in Small Aircraft Crash in South Florida

Beijing announced on Friday that it is increasing tariffs on U.S. imports from 84 percent to 125 percent in retaliation against the United States’ decision to hike duties on Chinese goods to a total of 145 percent. The new tariff rate will come into force on Saturday, China’s finance ministry announced.

A small airplane crashed after leaving the Boca Raton, Florida airport in the morning. All three people on board were killed, and one was injured on the ground. The NTSB and FAA will provide further updates on the investigation in the coming hours.

President Donald Trump will undergo his first physical examination of his second term at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on Friday. Trump, who turns 79 in June, is the oldest person to assume the presidency.
