Following US President Trump’s doubling of tariffs on China, the Chinese Embassy in Washington reacted with high tension. Stating that what the US should do in the face of the fentanyl issue is “consult”, the Embassy declared that they are ready to fight the US.
Claiming that China has failed in the fight against fentanyl coming to the US, Trump increased the tariff on China from 10 percent to 20 percent. The Chinese Embassy in Washington responded to the decision on social media.
“If the US wants to solve the fentanyl problem, then the right thing to do is to consult with China, treating each other as equals. If what the US wants is war, we are ready to fight to the end, whether it is a tariff war, a trade war, or any other type of war,” the embassy said in its post.
