Video | China vows to take ‘all necessary measures’ after imposition of latest US tariffs

China said it would take “all necessary measures” to protect its interests in response to new US tariffs of 25 per cent on global steel and aluminium imports.

Chinese foreign ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning also told reporters at a press conference that the US actions seriously violate World Trade Organization (WTO) rules.

US President Donald Trump’s latest levies went into effect on March 12, in a move that economists predicted would drive up consumer prices on a broad range of goods.
