China has announced tariffs of 125% on US imports. There's been no reaction yet from the US - where levies on some Chinese goods have now reached 145% - but Trump has said he is still hoping to secure a deal with Beijing. China says it "will not respond" to any further tariffs. With much of Trump's massive tariff plan put on ice for 90 days, North America correspondent Anthony Zurcher takes a look at five of the US president's key economic ambitions - from boosting industry and lowering prices to securing better trade deals - and whether he's any closer to achieving them.
