Reuters is reporting that China has set a 10% tariff on US LNG imports, marking the latest development in the ongoing trade dispute between the US and China.
Beijing has said it will tax US products worth US$60 billion effective 24 September in retaliation for tariffs imposed by US President Donald Trump.
