The international trade situation is tense again, with the U.S. issuing another tariff threat...
According to international trade sources, on the 14th of local time, the US leader expressed strong dissatisfaction with Russia and threatened to implement 100% tariff measures against Russia.
"We are very, very unhappy with (Russia). If we don't reach an agreement within 50 days, we will implement very severe tariff measures at a rate of about 100%," the U.S. leader said before mentioning that secondary tariffs would be imposed, without elaborating on the specifics.
A senior U.S. government official later explained to the media that this means that if a reconciliation agreement is not reached within 50 days on the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the United States will impose tariffs of 1,001 TP3T on Russian goods and sub-tariffs on countries that buy oil from Russia. The official did not elaborate further on the specifics of the secondary tariffs.
It is worth noting that the current leader of the United States, who promised during last year's election campaign to quickly resolve the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, has yet to make substantial progress on this issue since taking office in January of this year.
US threatens to impose high tariffs on countries trading with Russia, China responds clearly
On the 15th, a spokesman for China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs chaired a regular press conference. A reporter asked, a U.S. federal senator threatened a number of countries, including China, if they continue to trade with Russia, will face 500% tariffs. What is China's response to this?

The U.S. Secretary of the Treasury said recently that it is expected that by the end of this year, the United States may impose tariffs of "well over" 300 billion U.S. dollars.
