Investing.com -- The foreign ministry of China has called on Washington to cease misleading the public about the status of bilateral tariff negotiations. Guo Jiakun, a spokesperson for the ministry, stated in a press briefing that China and the United States are not currently engaged in discussions or consultations regarding the tariff issue.
This statement comes after U.S. President Donald Trump claimed on Thursday that trade talks between the two nations were in progress. However, both China’s foreign and commerce ministries have denied the existence of such negotiations.
In addition, Guo mentioned that he was not aware of any plans by China to exempt tariffs on certain U.S. imports. The recent exchange of remarks between Beijing and Washington has added to the uncertainty about the commencement and possibility of talks on high tariffs imposed on each other’s goods.
