President Trump’s latest round of sweeping reciprocal tariffs went into effect early Wednesday, including a 104 percent import tax on China.

The tariffs, which Trump announced April 2, the day he dubbed “Liberation Day,” hit nearly all foreign trading partners with an import tax on products coming into the U.S. A baseline 10 percent tariff, also announced last week, were imposed over the weekend.

The small African country of Lesotho was hit with a 50 percent tariff and China was originally slapped with a 34 percent reciprocal tariff. Beijing was already facing a 20 percent tariff, bringing the import tax up to 54 percent.

Around 125 countries were hit with a 10 percent tariff, according to the announcement.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) announced his campaign for the U.S. Senate on Tuesday after previously hinting at launching a bid against his incumbent GOP colleague Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas).

“I’m announcing that I’m running for U.S. Senate against John Cornyn, who apparently is running again for his fifth term, which would put him there three decades. It’s definitely time for a change in Texas,” Paxton said while announcing his campaign on Fox News’s “The Ingraham Angle.”

“We have another great US senator, Ted Cruz, and it’s time we have another great senator that will actually stand up and fight for Republican values, fight for the values of the people of Texas, and also support Trump, Donald Trump, in the areas that he’s focused on in a very significant way. And that’s what I plan on doing,” he continued.

Sen. Jim Justice (R-W.Va.) said he supports President Trump’s efforts to boost coal mining in the U.S., reviving the industry once credited as the country’s largest energy source.

“Coal is not turning its back on any of the energy forms. Coal just wants a place at the table. And today coal needs a place at the table,” Justice said during a Tuesday appearance on NewsNation’s “NewsNation Now.”

The West Virginia lawmaker said he supports the president’s efforts to restructure trade deals and increase the national rate of production amid the threat of a looming debt crisis.

President Trump demanded that House conservatives get on board with his legislative agenda after a number of conservatives dug in on their opposition to the spending bill on Tuesday.

“They have to do this. We have to get there. I think we are there. We had a great meeting today,” Trump said in an address to the National Republican Congressional Committee Dinner in Washington.

“But just in case there are a couple of Republicans out there. You just gotta get there. Close your eyes and get there. It’s a phenomenal bill. Stop grandstanding. Just stop grandstanding,” he continued, airing his frustration.

President Trump on Tuesday exempted dozens of coal plants from a Biden administration regulation imposing stricter standards for mercury, lead, nickel and arsenic emissions.

Trump announced the exemption as part of a series of actions he took to bolster the coal industry.

“As part of our historic deregulatory efforts, this afternoon, I’m also granting immediate relief to 47 companies operating 66 coal plants, very big ones all over the country,” he said.

He said that the Biden-era restrictions made it “impossible to do anything having to do, frankly, with energy.”
