No, Trump imposed additional tariffs without reason on China. The only reason China raised tariffs, and by the way they literally stopped raising them because it's pointless since they're already so high, is because Trump started imposing them when he took office.
There already were trade agreements and tariffs in place negotiated with both countries input. These new tariffs were just slapped on by the Trump admin not as a reaction to anything but as a unilateral imposition.
You could also say they're unilateral because they're only aimed at China and no other states if you want to look at it that way too.
