The US-China trade war has seen both nations impose tariffs that are based on restricting imports in both nations. According to Singh, (2019), US President Donald Trump accused China of imbalanced trading practices terming it as theft. Therefore, this article looks at what inspired what has currently escalated to a trade war between these two countries. The import tariffs were placed by Trump’s administration to ensure that they buy more American products than imported goods which are more expensive (Singh, 2019). Information provided in this article shows that $350 billion of Chinese products have been on the American markets compared to $110 billion American products.
