China DEFIES Trump: U.S. Tariffs Must END For Any Deal | Trump Launches Fiery Attack, Vows REVENGE

China is ramping up its trade war rhetoric with the U.S., urging President Trump to remove sweeping tariffs if the dispute is to be resolved. The Chinese Commerce Ministry emphasizes the need for "extreme scenario thinking" to manage trade risks as tensions rise. Despite claims of active talks from the Trump administration, China denies any negotiations are ongoing. Meanwhile, retaliatory measures continue, including China's refusal to send Boeing planes back and imposing a 125% tariff on U.S. products. The standoff shows no signs of easing as both sides dig in. #China #Trump #TradeWar #Tariffs #USChinaRelations #EconomicTensions #Boeing #TradeRisks #GlobalTrade #EconomicPolicy #USPolitics #ChinaTariffs #USTradeDeficit #TradeStandoff #ChinaResponse #TrumpTweets #EconomicCrisis #TradeEscalation #WashingtonDC #ForeignPolicy #ChinaCommerceMinistry #USChinaTradeWar #TariffDispute #TradeNegotiations #Beijing #InternationalRelations #ChinaRetaliation #BoeingPlanes #ChinaCommerce #TradeRelations #DiplomaticTensions Also Read US President Donald Trump, Russia's Vladimir Putin Condemned Pahalgam Terrorist Attack, Call It A Brutal Crime :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-president-donald-trump-russias-vladimir-putin-condemned-pahalgam-terrorist-attack-call-it-a-br-4131695.html?ref=DMDesc China Tests Non-Nuclear Hydrogen Bomb Capable of Producing 1,000°C Fireball :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/china-tests-non-nuclear-hydrogen-bomb-capable-of-producing-1-000-c-fireball-4130973.html?ref=DMDesc Harvard Sues Donald Trump Administration Over Cut In US Federal Funding :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/harvard-sues-donald-trump-administration-over-cut-in-us-federal-funding-4130575.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.336~GR.121~

China ‘NOT AFRAID’ Of Trump’s 245% Tariffs | Trade War Erupts Over Boeing Deal, Blackmail Claims

President Trump has dramatically escalated the U.S.-China trade war, announcing tariffs of up to 245% on Chinese imports following Beijing’s halt on future Boeing deliveries. The White House confirmed this move was a direct response to China backing out of a major aircraft deal. China’s Foreign Ministry hit back, calling the U.S. pressure “blackmail” and warning that they are not afraid of a prolonged trade fight. As both nations dig in, Trump says the “ball is in China’s court,” and that America will not back down until it’s respected again. #Trump #China #TradeWar #Tariffs #USChinaTensions #Boeing #TrumpTariffs #WhiteHouse #GlobalTrade #XiJinping #KarolineLeavitt #TruthSocial #Biden #EconomicWar #ChinaVsUS #BreakingNews #AmericaFirst #GlobalPolitics #ImportTax #USNews #ForeignPolicy #ChinaRetaliation #TrumpSpeech #TradeTalks #AmericaVsChina #Geopolitics #USChinaRelations #TrumpMoves #Airbus #ChineseImports #BoeingDeal Also Read India-China Relations: Warm Welcome For Indian Tourists, Students As Visa Norms Ease :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/india-china-relations-warm-welcome-for-indian-tourists-students-as-visa-norms-ease-4125187.html?ref=DMDesc China Halts Boeing Jet Deliveries Amid Retaliation To US Tariffs, Deepens Trade Tensions :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/china-halts-boeing-jet-deliveries-amid-retaliation-to-us-tariffs-deepens-trade-tensions-4124363.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Considers Temporary Exemption from Auto Tariffs to Aid Car Manufacturers Amid Economic Challenges :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-considers-temporary-exemption-auto-tariffs-011-4124041.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.194~HT.410~GR.125~
