US President Donald Trump suggested on Wednesday that a
trade deal was "possible" with China - a key target in the US leader's tariffs policy.
In 2020, the United States had already agreed to "a great trade deal with China" and a new deal was "possible," Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One.
Asked about the comments, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun said on Thursday that "trade wars and
tariff wars produce no winners" and harm the interests of people in all countries.
China firmly opposes the US' unilateral imposition of additional tariffs. Both sides should resolve their respective concerns through dialogue and consultation based on equality and mutual respect, and China will continue to take necessary measures to resolutely safeguard its legitimate rights and interests, Guo stated.
