In response to the threat of additional tariffs, China stated that it “will take all necessary measures to safeguard its legitimate rights and interests.”
Lie Pengyu, spokesperson of the Chinese Embassy in the United States, posted on X (Twitter): “There are no winners in tariff wars and trade wars, and coercion and pressure cannot solve the problem. Protectionism harms the interests of all parties.”

Experts warn that such a “brutal” strategy could have serious repercussions on the global economy as well as political repercussions.
“Iran’s imports mainly include intermediate products, machinery, equipment, food and pharmaceuticals, all of which are critical to maintaining industrial production and social stability,” Professor Kumar said.

Professor Kumar said the decision hinged on whether the United States could “credibly threaten widespread tariffs without causing significant damage to its economy.” Furthermore, U.S. demands for acquiescence could lead to political backlash and resentment.
“Will major powers accept the precedent of their foreign trade relations being effectively vetoed by Washington?” he asked. “Will escalating economic pressure on Iran increase the likelihood of political change at a time of domestic unrest, or solidify hardliners and deepen global polarization?”
Trump said the United States would be “done” if the Supreme Court blocked his landmark trade policy.
