China 's Ministry of Commerce said Friday it "firmly opposes" U.S. President Donald Trump 's latest threat to ramp up tariffs on Chinese goods.

The statement followed Trump 's announcement Thursday to slap China with an additional 10% in tariffs starting March 4 .

The new tariffs would come on top of the 10% additional tariffs Trump levied on China on Feb. 4 .

The final result of the assessment will be delivered to Trump by April 1 . That could set the stage for further actions of what Trump called "reciprocal tariffs," raising duties on various countries including China to match their existing levies on U.S. imports. In a social media post Thursday , he confirmed that " The April Second Reciprocal Tariff date will remain in full force and effect.".
