US Customs began collecting an extra 25 percent on 818 tariff lines worth about $34 billion of Chinese imports on 6 July 2018 — the opening move of the trade war, and the first time since the 1930s that the United States taxed a major trading partner at this scale.

After eighteen months of escalating tariffs the two sides signed an 'historic and enforceable agreement' in the East Room on 15 January 2020 — purchase commitments, intellectual-property rules and a ban on forced technology transfer. Most of the tariffs stayed in place.
