Mr Trump has announced plans to impose tariffs on up to $60bn (£42.5bn) of Chinese goods, accusing China of intellectual property theft. The move has rattled

 markets and stoked fears of a trade war.

     Following Mr Trump's move, China said it was planning to retaliate with its own set of proposed tariffs worth $3bn, including tariffs on groceries and aluminium scrap.

Beijing has warned the US that it is "not afraid of a trade war", but has said that it hopes to avoid one through continued dialogue.
