US President Donald Trump today protested China's "unfair" trade with the United States, calling on Beijing to remove trade barriers.

"The United States has not had a trade surplus with China for 40 years. They must end unfair trade, break down barriers and impose only reciprocal duties. The US loses $ 500 billion a year and has lost billions of dollars for decades. This cannot continue! " was the tweet written by the American president.

The US president said last Thursday that he had "instructed the US Department of Commerce" to begin considering additional "$ 100 billion" tariffs on China, further escalating tensions between its two largest economies. in terms of trade.

China has reacted by saying it is fully prepared to respond to Trump's decision to impose new $ 100 billion in tariffs on Chinese products.
