(TheLastPatriotNews.com) – In new aggressive rhetoric against America, Communist China is threatening President Trump with war after his decisive action to double tariffs on Chinese imports has ushered in a critical chapter in the escalating U.S.-China trade conflict.

While the Trump administration cites fentanyl trafficking as a key reason, China remains defiant, preparing for potential economic warfare.
The Trump administration increased tariffs on Chinese imports from 10% to 20% as a firm measure against illicit fentanyl shipments.
The administration pointed to Chinese inaction on drug control, making clear that national security and public safety would take precedence.
China, however, did not shy away from confrontation.
“If the U.S. has other agenda in mind and if war is what the U.S. wants, be it a tariff war, a trade war or any other type of war, we’re ready to fight till the end,” said Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian.
The declaration underscores China’s readiness for a prolonged standoff.
The Chinese government’s response was swift and robust.
Imposing tariffs on American agriculture products and cutting off business with specific U.S. companies, China called for dialogue, while making clear they would not be bullied.
Lin emphasized the need for equality and mutual respect when tackling issues like the U.S.’s opioid crisis, The New York Post reports.
President Trump holds firm to his belief that tariffs can serve as leverage in international politics, and he’s extended this pressure to other nations like Canada, Mexico, and the EU.
The U.S. administration’s narrative that these nations contribute significantly to the worsening opioid crisis remains unswayed by diplomatic tensions.
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has echoed sentiments of preparedness for major confrontations, underscoring America’s commitment to rebuilding its military prowess.
On the economic front, though tariffs may raise consumer prices in the U.S., the administration argues it’s a necessary sacrifice to address larger threats.
“Let’s differentiate between today’s tariffs, which are about saving American lives. China makes the opioid products, and then Mexico and Canada feed them into America—and that’s got to end,” stated U.S. Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick, accurately emphasizing the tariffs’ intended impact.
With tariffs affecting roughly $1.4 trillion in imports from China, Canada, and Mexico, both sides of the aisle must accept this delicate balancing act impacting the global market.
The stakes are high, and as the United States commits to defending its borders and citizens, time will only tell the tangible effects of this trade war.
