📈 U.S. Raises China Tariffs to 145% Amid Trade Tensions

China hit back with 84% tariffs, accused the U.S. of bullying, and refused talks. While China shifts focus to Europe, India declined cooperation, Russia remains unaffected, and Taiwan, facing a 32% tariff, is preparing for talks with the U.S.
