Beijing issued the forceful statement following the Trump administration's move to double the tariffs already in place for Chinese imports.
Beijing is warning the U.S. it is ready to fight “a tariff war, a trade war or any other type of war” after President Donald Trump doubled the tariffs already in place for Chinese imports this week.
Trump has accused China of fueling a drug crisis in the U.S., suggesting that the tariffs he’s levied on all Chinese imports should encourage Beijing to do more to address the issue.
The Chinese Embassy in the U.S. blasted the White House action as counterproductive late Tuesday.
“If war is what the U.S. wants, be it a tariff war, a trade war or any other type of war, we’re ready to fight till the end,” it wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth addressed the statement during an appearance on “Fox and Friends” Wednesday morning.
