05 Apr 2018 --- China has seriously upped the severity of its sanctions against the US as the trade war between the world's two largest economies escalates. US soybeans are now being targeted for 25 percent retaliatory tariffs, after initially not including the commodity on its list of items impacted. As the trade war between the two countries intensifies, China has added soybeans to a long list of food products that will be subject to tariffs alongside frozen pork, almonds, pistachios, wine and fresh and dried fruit.
