China’s Foreign Ministry has publicly opposed President Donald Trump’s threat to impose an additional 10% tariff on BRICS countries, emphasizing that tariffs should not be used as a tool for coercion or pressure. The ministry reiterated that there are no winners in tariff or trade wars, highlighting that protectionism ultimately harms the interests of all parties involved. This stance comes amid Trump’s announcement of unilateral tariffs ranging from 25% to 40% on imports from 14 countries, set to take effect on August 1. Chinese officials and spokespeople have consistently called for limiting damage and pursuing negotiations to resolve trade disputes, underscoring the broader international concern over escalating tariff measures.
