Investing.com – U.S. futures pointed to a higher opening bell on Tuesday as investors shrugged off news that the White House imposed a fresh round of tariffs on China.

U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Monday that the U.S. will put 10% tariffs on $200 billion in Chinese goods, which will go up to 25% at the end of the year.

Trump added that "if China takes retaliatory action against our farmers or other industries, we will immediately pursue phase three, which is tariffs on approximately $267 billion of additional imports."
