Investing.com — The Chinese Ministry of Commerce stated in a statement on Monday that China is conducting a comprehensive assessment of the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling on President Donald Trump’s trade tariffs.

According to the translation of the statement by Investing.com, the Ministry urged the United States to “cancel unilateral tariffs on its trading partners,” and Beijing called for cooperation rather than confrontation between the two countries.

These comments were made after the U.S. Supreme Court last week ruled that Trump exceeded his authority when he declared a national economic emergency to implement comprehensive trade tariffs in 2025.

Trump’s response to this ruling was to announce new 10% trade tariffs based on different policies, which were soon increased to 15%.

The Chinese Ministry of Commerce pointed out that the U.S. is preparing to investigate its trading partners to maintain tariffs on them, and stated that China will “closely monitor” the development of the situation and “firmly defend its own interests.”

In early 2025, Trump imposed high tariffs on China, triggering intense trade friction between the two countries, which only eased by the end of the year. However, U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods remain relatively high.

Weekend reports indicated that after the Supreme Court’s ruling, several other countries are seeking more explicit clarification regarding Trump’s tariffs.

Trump is scheduled to visit China from late March to early April to attend a highly anticipated summit.
