The leaders of both Canada and Mexico got on the phone with President Donald Trump this past week to seek solutions after he slapped tariffs on their countries, but China’s president appears unlikely to make a similar call soon.

Beijing imposed broad tariffs on imports of American food and said 15 U.S. companies could no longer buy from China without special permission.

No country should fantasize that it can suppress China and maintain a good relationship with China at the same time,” warned China’s foreign minister.

Beijing announced Tuesday additional tariffs as high as 15% on certain U.S. goods, starting from March 10 and a series of new export restrictions for designated U.S. entities.

Chinese officials summoned Walmart executives over reports of the retailer pressuring its Chinese suppliers to lower prices to help counteract Trump’s tariffs.

Walmart is caught in the crossfire of escalating trade tensions between the United States and China amid President Donald Trump's rising tariffs. Trump doubled tariffs on all Chinese imports to 20% following which China announced retaliatory tariffs on American agricultural imports starting Monday.

Walmart is getting caught in the middle of an escalating trade war between the United States and China. Chinese officials confirmed on Thursday they had met with executives from the US retail giant, following a news report that it had pressured its suppliers in China for discounts to cope with rising tariffs imposed by Donald Trump.
