Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer has released a third list of thousands of additional goods that could face 10% china product tariffs after a public comment period covering $200 billion in Chinese imports. It includes fruit and vegetables, handbags, refrigerators, rain jackets and baseball gloves. The move comes after the United States imposed the first round of 25% China tariffs worth $34 billion which kicked in July 6th and Beijing immediately responded with its own tariffs on US goods worth $34 billion. .
