China threatens Trump with countermeasures for the increase in customs
US President Donald Trump wants to increase the punitive tariffs against China. This could soon come into force. Beijing announces an answer.
China threatens to take counter reactions after the announced increase in customs in the customs of US President Donald Trump. If the United States wanted to insist on its will, the People’s Republic would take all the necessary countermeasures to defend its rights and interests, said a spokesman for the Ministry of Commerce in Beijing. China hope that the United States did not repeat the same mistakes and returned to the right way to solve differences in opinion.
The agencies of the spokesman for the authorities did not lead to the means of which China would use. The second largest economy in the world had previously raised tariffs from the United States or in other cases export checks decided to have important raw materials for the high-tech industry.
Trump had announced that the tariffs already applicable against Chinese goods have been doubled. With the increase, the surcharges would be 20 percent from next Tuesday. The Republican justified the measure by the fact that via Mexico and Canada, the drug fentanyl made in China gets into the United States.
The spokesman for the Chinese Ministry of Commerce said that the People’s Republic had one of the world’s strictest drug bans. The United States would ignore facts and only blame others with its behavior without solving its own problems.
