Trump accuses China of interfering in Congress election

This assumption has added another explosive element to the conflict between the two states, as Trump announced late Monday the 10 percent tariffs on Chinese goods worth $200 billion starting next week.

In addition, Trump has threatened additional fees if China decides to retaliate.

Beijing on the other side has announced on Tuesday that it will set tariffs on American goods worth 60 billion dollars.

In a series of offensive posts by Trump, whose Republicans risk losing control in both chambers of Congress, he has accused China of expanding the area of revenge, citing elections.

“Kina has openly shown that she is trying to influence and change elections, attacking our farmers and industrial workers because of their loyalty to me”, Trump said.

“Kina has been in priority over the United States in terms of trade for many years” They also know I'm the one who knows how to stop”, the American president has declared.

But Trump has not made known what open statements of China were referred to.
