United States (US) presidential candidate and former president, Donald Trump says he will drastically increase tariffs on foreign goods entering the US if he is elected president again.

Trump says goods from other countries will be charged tariffs of up to 20% and 60% on all imports from China. Tariffs are a central part of Trump's economic vision and sees them as a way of growing the US economy, protecting jobs and raising tax revenue.
