China has warned that the consequences of severing trade ties with Russia will not be good, refuting US President Donald Trump's threat.
Trump has signed a directive that states that the US will impose a 500 percent import tariff on oil imported from Russia. But unlike the Modi government in India, China has not backed down this time either. China has been putting pressure on the US from the beginning of the tariff war.
"China has always opposed the imposition of illegal and unilateral sanctions. We will remain firm in that position," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Mao Ning said in Beijing.
Mao said, "China has maintained trade relations with Russia in accordance with international rules. There is no illegal element in it. America has no right to interfere in the trade decisions of sovereign China." "China does not impose sanctions on any third country on issues of its foreign policy. The US cannot impose any sanctions on Russia-China relations either."
Meanwhile, Russian President Putin has also criticized the US warning. The fact is that despite repeated sanctions imposed by the US and Western Europe over the Ukraine conflict, Moscow has not been able to suppress it.
