Hong Kong announced Wednesday that its postal service would no longer send packages to the United States, in response to the White House’s plan to charge tariffs on small, low-value parcels from the city.

The move comes before President Trump’s planned imposition of new tariffs on small packages sent to the United States from Hong Kong and China.

President Donald Trump's "reciprocal tariffs" have triggered instant retaliatory reaction from Hong Kong, which functions as a special administrative region (SAR) of China — the nation hardest hit by the levies.
