Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Corva Coleman.
President Trump's latest round of tariffs went into effect overnight.
That's on top of the minimum 10 percent tariffs that took effect last weekend.
Dozens of countries have been slapped with new tariffs today, including China.
The tariff rate on Chinese goods has now soared to more than 100 percent.
And Piers John Riewicz says China is imposing retaliatory tariffs today on the U.S. China is,
you know, casting this whole thing in pretty stark black and white terms.
It's essentially right versus wrong.
Beijing projects itself as a champion of free trade and fair trade and multilateralism.
While it says the U.S. is engaged in selfish and irresponsible protectionism, even blackmail.
Trump said yesterday, of course, that China wants to make a deal and he's waiting for them to call.
The Chinese leadership has, in fact, flagged that it's willing to negotiate, but it won't do so under duress.
And Piers John Riewicz reporting.
Separately, European Union officials are voting today on a series of retaliatory tariffs against the U.S.
The IRS has reached an agreement with federal immigration authorities to share tax information about some immigrants without legal status in the U.S.
And Piers Joel Rose reports this marks a major change in how tax records can be used.
In a court filing,
a top IRS official shared a memorandum of understanding between the tax collector and U.S. immigration and customs enforcement that was executed on Monday.
Under the terms of the deal,
ICE officers can ask the IRS for information about immigrants who have final orders of removal or are under criminal investigation.
