The Kremlin warned Friday that a trade war between the US and China will have consequences for the world economy, saying Russia is ready to protect its interests amid economic uncertainty.
“Russia will take the necessary measures to protects its interests. Especially as such measures exist in the rules and norms of the World Trade Organization,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters.
He said Moscow is watching the tit-for-tat tariffs Washington and Beijing imposed on each other with “great attention”.
Peskov said these will have “consequences on specific sectors of the world economy”.
