China on Friday (April 11) appealed to the european union to work together against the "unilateral bullying" of the US.

In response, the european union had also decided to impose some taxes, but for now they have postponed the 20% tax for 90 days.
China also made it clear that if the US continues to take such unthinking steps, then it is also fully prepared for a trade war.
President Xi jinping made this appeal
President Xi jinping made this appeal during a meeting with Spanish President Pedro Sanchez in Beijing. According to the state news agency Xinhua, Xi jinping also warned the european union that it should work together with china so that they can face the growing trade dispute with washington dc (USA).
The Chinese President said, "China and europe should jointly fulfill their international responsibilities and jointly oppose the unilateral threatening policies of the US." He reiterated his earlier statements and also said that this will not only protect the rights and interests of both sides, but will also strengthen justice and equality at the international level.
Spain's prime minister said this
The Spanish prime minister said that cooperation between the european union and china should not stop due to the ongoing tension over trade. prime minister Pedro Sanchez admitted, "Spain and europe are losing trade with China." He also said, "We should not let this trade tension become an obstacle in our mutual relations and future cooperation." spain buys goods worth about $ 50 billion from china every year.
The british and Japanese Prime Ministers also expressed disappointment
Recently, there was a conversation between british prime minister Keir Starmer and Japanese prime minister Shigeru Ishiba. Both the leaders agreed that no one will benefit from the trade war. According to news agency Xinhua, this meeting took place at a time when the US has imposed a 10% tariff on goods coming from most countries. Apart from this, a tax of up to 25% has been imposed on steel, aluminum and car parts.
According to the Financial Times report, british prime minister Starmer had already said that it is unlikely that the US will remove the 10% tax imposed on british goods.

Meanwhile, japan has also announced that it will send its economic minister Ryosei Akazawa by next week to negotiate with the US on tariffs.
