“We see that now the same Europeans have a reaction to the US-Chinese deal, where the Chinese commit themselves to increase the purchase of American goods, causes very serious concerns,” he said on the television channel “Russia 24”.

Oreshkin emphasized that due to the agreement between the PRC and the USA, Europeans may face additional barriers in the sale of their products.

“That is, it is such a big slowed-down mine over this whole situation. I think in 2020 it will not explode yet, but starting from 2021–2022, we will see a lot of controversy in the triangle of the USA, China, Europe with the connection of other countries. And of course, finding a new equilibrium in trade policy will continue, ”concluded the assistant to the Russian leader.

On January 15, US President Donald Trump and Vice Premier of the State Council of the PRC Liu He signed an agreement on the first phase of the trade deal.

The South China Morning Post reported that the trade agreement provides for the purchase by China of US goods from four industries worth about $ 200 billion over two years.

Yuri Rogulev, director of the Roosevelt United States Research Foundation at Moscow State University, in an interview with NSN, noted Washington’s desire to restore balance in trade relations with Beijing.
