According to him, the United States "stupidly" lost "trillions of dollars" because of China over many years.

“Our excellent US companies have been ordered to immediately start looking for an alternative to China,” Trump wrote on Twitter, urging all of the production to move to the United States.

The head of the White House promised to respond to China's duties on Friday, August 23.

Earlier, China decided to introduce additional duties of 10% and 5% on the import of American goods in the amount of $ 75 billion per year.

On August 1, Trump announced the introduction of a duty of 10% on Chinese goods worth $ 300 billion from September 1. Later, the United States postponed the introduction of measures until December 15.
