On May 10, Trump made good on his promise to raise tariffs by 15% on $200 billion worth of Chinese imports. The now 25% tariffs are meant as a punishment to China for the country's refusal to accept the Trump Administration’s latest version of a potential trade deal. Trump also ordered the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR), to begin the process of raising tariffs on essentially all remaining imports from China, which are valued at approximately $300 billion.

As Wall Street reels from the shock of a trade war exploding to new heights in the form of tariffs and counter tariffs, there's another reality that is setting in — that China seems happy to walk away from trade talks. “Until a week ago, it looked likely that a far-reaching trade deal would be struck between the U.S. and China within a matter of weeks. Whether Beijing has miscalculated or not, China's policy makers are betting that they can absorb a blow to the nearly $400 billion of exports that the country, on net, sells to the U.S. each year.

The Dow is down about 1,200 points since President Donald Trump announced tariff hikes last week, with heavier losses in companies with business in China. Intel, Apple and Caterpillar have all dropped more than 10% in the six trading days since the president's tweet on May 5.
