China said it opposes any illegal unilateral sanctions after US President Donald Trump warned that countries doing business with Iran would face a 25% tariff on trade with the United States.

Axar.az informs, “China’s position against the indiscriminate imposition ‍of tariffs is consistent and clear. Tariff ‍wars and ‍trade wars ⁠have no ‌winners, and coercion ⁠and ‍pressure cannot solve problems,” Liu Pengyu, a spokesperson ⁠of the Chinese embassy in Washington, ‌said on X.

“China firmly opposes any illicit unilateral sanctions and long-arm jurisdiction, and ‍will take all necessary measures to safeguard its legitimate rights and interests."
