China is set to impose retaliatory tariffs on select American imports.
They will also carry out an antitrust investigation into Google on Tuesday.
This comes after a sweeping levy on Chinese products imposed by the president of the United States, Donald Trump.
American tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico were also set to go into effect Tuesday before Trump agreed to a 30-day pause, as the two countries acted to address his concerns about border security and drug trafficking.
Trump planned to hold discussions with Chinese President Xi Jinping in the coming days.
“It is being scheduled and will happen very soon,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, said.
This isn’t the first round of tit-for-tat actions between the two countries.
In 2018, China and America engaged in an escalating trade war, when Trump repeatedly raised tariffs on Chinese goods and China responded each time.
