Trump said that the United States will have to reduce duties on Chinese imports – without this, the development of trade relations with China will become impossible. He stressed that he does not intend to lift barriers just for the sake of negotiations with Beijing, adding that the current tariffs are causing serious damage to the Chinese economy. Chinese imports of anthracite in March reached an absolute record of 1.9 million tons, of which almost 100% came from Russia.

A new front in the trade war has opened between India and Pakistan. Trade escalation is added to the military conflict between the countries. Over the weekend, India imposed bans on the import and transit of goods from Pakistan amid reports of violations of the ceasefire regime at the line of control. It also banned ships flying the Pakistani flag from entering Indian ports. Donald Trump ordered the introduction of 100% duties on foreign films, declaring the crisis of the American film industry due to the «concerted actions of other countries».
