The Trump administration has published a preliminary list of additional Chinese products that could be targeted with tariffs in the escalating trade war between the world’s two biggest economies. The list covers some $200 billion in Chinese exports that could be hit by a 10 percent tariff. It’s an extensive list of over 6,000 goods that include seafood, propane and toilet paper, among many other things.

These new suggested levies won’t take effect until after a public comment period which runs through August.
