--FILE--National flags of China and the United States are seen in Ji'nan city, east China's Shandong province, 14 June 2018.Even as Chinese and American trade negotiators laid plans to maintain "intensive consultation" this month, President Donald Trump said he will impose 10% tariffs Sept. 1 on an additional $300 billion a year of imports from China. Trump disclosed the expansion of tariffs Thursday in a tweet in which he also complained that China failed to increase agricultural purchases and to cut off the flow of the opioid drug fentanyl to the U.S. from China as he said President Xi Jinping promised. Trump said the new duties will be in addition to the tariffs of as much as 25% on $250 billion a year of Chinese imports. The Dow Jones Industrial Average plunged 200 points following the news, erasing a gain of 300 points earlier in the day. China didn't immediately respond to Trump's tweet, which he concluded by writing, "We look forward to continuing our positive dialogue with China."No Use China. No Use France.
