US President Donald Trump this month raised the basic tariff on imports from China to 145 percent, to which Beijing responded with a 125 percent tariff on American goods.

Boeing a plane destined for the Chinese airline Xiamen Airlines has returned from Beijing in Seattle, as the first victim of bilateral tariffs initiated by US President Donald Trump.

It was the first of several 737 Max planes waiting at Boeing's Zhoushan center for final touches and delivery to a Chinese carrier, CNN reports.

This month, Trump raised the basic tariff on imports from China to 145 percent, to which Beijing responded with a 125 percent tariff on American goods.

Therefore, the Chinese airline that acquires the Boeing planes would be burdened with an additional large levy, considering that the new 737 Max costs about 55 million dollars.

The return of Boeing's best-selling model is the latest sign of disruption to new aircraft deliveries, due to the end of the airline industry's decades-old duty-free status.

Confusion over the change in tariff rates could prevent many aircraft deliveries, with some airline executives announcing they would rather delay purchases than pay tariffs.

Judicial impasse: Release Marija Vasić immediately

Keeping sociology professor Marija Vasić in prison on charges of terrorism is an anti-civilization crime. Or grotesque, whatever you want. Why don't judges, prosecutors, policemen, security guards rebel against it

Vučić has nothing more to offer, no one and no way

In a speech that made no sense from the point of view of logic and integrity, Vučić offered his voters everything they wanted to hear. But, all in contradictions. The spirit of rebellion can no longer return to the bottle because the bottle is broken

We must not watch and remain silent.

The Republic of Serbia is in danger. If we remain silent on the rigged process against political prisoners in Novi Sad and the Kraljeva case where the victims were declared violent, soon we will all go on hunger and thirst strikes for a shred of justice
