Trump announces tariff, China provoked China, said- we are ready for any war, not only business

US-China Relations: The new 25% tariff imposed on imports from Mexico and Canada by US President Donald Trump came into effect from Tuesday. At the same time, the fee on Chinese goods was doubled to 20%. With this, new business conflicts started with these three trading partners of America.

A few hours before the tariff was implemented, Trump said that the three countries have failed to take adequate steps to stop the flow of deadly fentinyl opioids and other drugs in the US. Reacting to this, China has clarified that if the US wants a tariff war or any kind of struggle, China is ready to fight till the end.

China retaliated

On this decision of Donald Trump, China’s US Embassy wrote on social media, ‘If America wants war, whether it is tariff war, trade war or any other type of war, “We are ready to fight till the end”. At the same time, the Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson wrote, targeting the social media platform X, “Chinese will not work. It will not be easy for the US to face the retaliation of China about tariffs and experts are raising questions whether the people of America are ready to tolerate a huge increase in prices? ‘

A spokesman for the Chinese Foreign Ministry said that China is not afraid of threats and this is not the right way to deal with pressure or force. He held the US responsible for the Phantanile crisis and said that China has taken strong steps to assist the US on the issue, but the US has tried to blame and discredit China.

Significantly, China retaliated and announced some new export sanctions for nominated American institutions from March 10, in retaliation.

‘America responsible for Fentaneel crisis’

Taking a dig at the US over the Fentaneel crisis, China said, ‘America is responsible for this crisis .. In a sense of humanity and goodwill towards American people, we have taken us many tough steps to help America in dealing with this issue. Instead of accepting our efforts, America is blaming us and is conspiring to discredit us. They are punishing us for help. This will not solve America’s problem. This will weaken cooperation between the two countries.
