China has ordered its airlines to halt all jet orders from American manufacturer Boeing in response to President Trump hitting the country with tariffs as high as 145% on Chinese goods, according to a report.

Beijing has additionally told Chinese carriers to not purchase any aircraft-related equipment from American companies, Bloomberg News reported, citing people familiar with the matter.

The order comes after China imposed a 125% tariff on American goods over the weekend, which on its own would have doubled the cost of US-made aircraft and parts, Bloomberg reported.
