00:00China raises tariffs on U.S. goods from 34% to 84% starting on Thursday, following the U.S.'s tariff increase.
00:10CDU, CSU and SPD have agreed on a coalition agreement.
00:14The agreement paves the way for new leadership in Europe's biggest economy after months of political drift.

00:30China imposes 84% tariffs on U.S. goods, taking effect on Thursday,
00:37according to a Chinese finance ministry statement on Wednesday.

00:55One expert believes that China won't hesitate to continue to retaliate.

02:20The S&P 500 fell 1.6% on Tuesday after wiping out an early gain of 4.1%, which had it on track for its best day in years.
02:31Analysts have attributed the global market's reaction to uncertainty about what Trump will do with his trade war.
02:38Meanwhile, U.S. Customs and Border Protection confirmed on Tuesday it was preparing to collect the country's specific tariffs from 86 nations.
