China’s deputy permanent representative to the UN, Geng Shuang, slammed the United States for imposing tariffs on Beijing due to its trade with Russia, but pointed out how Washington continues to trade with Moscow despite sanctions and the Ukraine war.

We’re going to put sanctions,” the president said, even before a deadline he had given Russia this week to engage in cease-fire negotiations had passed.

President Trump signed an executive order earlier this week imposing new tariffs on imports from BRICS nations.
