“The measures to increase duties adopted by the United States, seriously violate the consensus that has been reached between the leaders of our countries. China expresses its strong protest in this regard, ”the statement said.
Earlier, U.S. President Donald Trump announced the upcoming increase in duties on goods from China, which will be imported from September and October 2019.
The US leader later said that Washington and Beijing are returning to trade dialogue.
In May, expert Dmitry Rodionov, in an interview with the FAN, noted that the Washington-Beijing trade talks ended in nothing and led to a new round of trade war.
