Earlier, Donald Trump announced that he was introducing import duties on steel in 25% and on aluminum in 10%. According to him, the duties are introduced "in defense of America's national security." In response, Beijing called on the White House to abolish imposed duties as soon as possible, which harm both other countries and America itself.
