Trade deal with Ottawa not aimed at third parties: Chinese foreign ministry
China is defending a preliminary trade deal with Canada. Beijing emphasized that the agreement does not target what it calls "third parties". US President Donald Trump had planned to impose 100% tariffs on Canadian products, if Beijing and Ottawa finalise the deal. China's foreign ministry calls on nations to approach bilateral relations with a win-win mindset and through cooperation. Canada’s prime minister says his country has no intention of pursuing a free trade deal with China. Both sides announced a new strategic partnership and a preliminary trade deal earlier this month. The initial agreement would slash tariffs on Chinese EVs, in exchange for lower levies on Canadian canola. Karina Huber reports from Montreal.
