The democratic country announced tariffs on 28 items from the US to retaliate against the Trump administration™s trade protectionism. Elsewhere, Chinese media kept criticizing the US President Donald Trump and indicate fewer chances of a trade solution from the upcoming G20 meeting between the leaders of the US and China.
