In economic news, the US tariff rate on goods coming from China now totals 145%, CNBC reported, citing confirmation from a White House official. Trump's executive order on Wednesday raised the tariff rate on China to 125% from 84%, but that hike comes on top of a 20% fentanyl-related tariff that Trump previously levied on the nation, the report said.
