Tesla (TSLA) Stock Falls After Pulling Orders From China

Tesla (TSLA) stock is down during Friday’s trading session after the EV maker pulled the option to purchase select Tesla vehicles in China. Tesla removed the “order” button from its China website for the Model S sedan and Model X SUV. The EV maker updated its model lineup both in China and the US on Friday due to tariffs and demand issues. This week, China raised its tariffs on US imports to 125% from 84%. The hike comes as the two appear in a tariff standoff, with the latter also raising its tariffs against China but pausing tariffs against other countries.

Tesla is up around 5% in the past week following Wednesday’s climb amid market volatility. The majority of the US stock market, especially top options like TSLA and NVDA, wer...

US President Donald Trump threatened an additional tariff on China if Beijing didn’t remove its retaliatory duties on US exports. The latter brought its own 34% tariff increase on the United States in response to Trump’s tariff announcement last week. Since China has yet to lift its retaliatory tariffs, the White House has added an additional 104% tariff to Chinese imports. On Monday, Trump also said he’s currently “waiting” on a call from China to make a deal on trade and tariffs while touting that a delegation from South Korea was already headed to the U.S. to make a deal of its own. “China also wants to make a deal, badly, but they don’t know how to get it started,” Trump said in a post to Truth Social. “We are waiting for their call. It will happen!” JUST IN: White House say...
