President Trump’s 10% tariffs on Chinese imports went into effect overnight and the Chinese government has already announced retaliatory tariffs. 

They are imposing a “15% tariff on coal and liquefied natural gas” and a “10% tariff on crude oil, agricultural machinery, large-displacement automobiles and pickup trucks,” <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/china-us-tariffs-elon-musk-doge-morning-rundown-rcna190552">according to NBC News</a>.

The tariffs go into effect on February 10th.

It looks like China is going to need a lot more squeezing in order for Trump to get them to do what he wants, which is to stop the fentanyl drug trade. 

I expect this is going to go on for a while.
