China is preparing to announce retaliatory measures against the United States after the Donald Trump administration decided to impose tariffs on imports from the People's Republic over the past weekend.
In this context, some news reports indicated on Tuesday morning that China is targeting the imposition of tariffs on its energy imports from the United States.
The reports stated that China intends to impose a 15% tariff on its imports of coal and liquefied natural gas, and it is also considering tariffs on American oil and agricultural machinery.
These actions from China are in response to the decisions made by the United States, specifically under the Trump administration, which targeted several countries, with China being at the forefront, in an attempt to support the trade balance with other partner countries.
