Last I read, Trump's proposal was a 35% tariff on goods from China.

I thought that was for Canada and Mexico but for China he was staying at 10%

He was saying 25% for Canada and Mexico and an extra 10% for China. Which means 35% for China.

I just looked it up. He said he's increasing tariffs for Canada and Mexico by 25% of the existing tariffs and for China increasing by 10% of the existing tariffs.
