This will make it more expensive for America businesses to sell those products in China. And China says this was done as a response to the tariffs that the U.S. recently put on imports of Chinese steel and aluminum.Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump says more tariffs, new ones worth as much a $50 billion are being planned by the U.S. on additional goods from China. So, one big question is, will all this cause a trade war, when countries take turns putting tariffs on each other s goods, causing prices to rise?We dont know yet. The U.S. and China ship hundreds of billions of dollars of goods back and forth every year. So, the tariffs weve seen so far are a tiny part of that. And Americas treasury secretary says the U.S. and China are talking behind the scenes about how to prevent a possible trade war.But a number of experts are concerned this could turn into one and so are some stock investors. The Chinese tariffs were a major factor in a drop of the U.S. stock market yesterday when the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 459 points. But just like its hard to tell if a trade war is on the horizon, its also hard to tell what kind of effects one could have decades down the road.1、Which of the following imports did the U.S. government put tariffs on?APork. BFruit. CAluminum. DSteel pipes.2、Why does the Chinese government put tariffs on imports from the U.S.?AChinese government w ants to cease the trade war.BChinese government w ants to benefit from the trade.CChinese government w ants to make an eye for an eye.DChinese government w ants to promote the world trade.3、What is the passage mainly about?AT
