Washington attacks China with drone tariffs and accuses it of evading those levies

Washington has imposed a 100% tariff on certain drones originating from China, targeting the world's leading power in the sector. The announcement, reported on August 14, includes accusations that Beijing is evading existing trade levies, thereby causing millions of dollars in financial losses for the United States.

The measure marks a further escalation in trade tensions between the two economic powers, focusing specifically on the unmanned aerial vehicle industry where China holds dominant market manufacturing and export positions.
