Trump Signals More Tariffs on China Over Ties With Russia

Washington: U.S. President Donald Trump has hinted at imposing additional tariffs on China due to its growing closeness with Russia.

Speaking to journalists, Trump stated that a 50% tariff has already been imposed on India, and China could soon face similar tariff measures.
