Trump is threatening China with an additional 25% tariff over Russia oil buys.

Trump was imprecise on this, however he could not cease his ego getting management of his mouth.

Trump indicated he could introduce extra tariffs on China, just like the 25% duties he lately introduced in opposition to India in response to its ongoing imports of Russian oil.

• “Might occur” Trump stated, not giving additional element
• “It might occur … I can not let you know but”
• “We did it with India. We’re doing it most likely with a few others. Considered one of them could possibly be China.”

On Wednesday, Trump imposed an additional 25% tariff on Indian merchandise, doubling down on an earlier 25% levy, citing India’s continued oil commerce with Russia as the explanation.
