The Ministry of Foreign Affairs denies that China and the United States are negotiating on tariff issues

On the afternoon of April 24, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs held a regular press conference. Reporter: Recently, there have been continuous reports from the U.S. side claiming that negotiations are underway between China and the U.S., and that an agreement may be reached. Can you confirm if both sides have started negotiations? Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Guo Jia Kun: These are all false reports. To my knowledge, there have been no discussions or negotiations between China and the U.S. regarding tariff issues, let alone reaching an agreement. This tariff war was initiated by the U.S. side, and China's position has always been consistent and clear. If they want to fight, we will accompany them to the end; if they want to talk, the door is open, but dialogue and negotiations must be equal, respectful, and mutually beneficial.

At this moment, how will Trump respond?
