Views: 62 · Added: 2420 days ago

BEIJING (AP) - China announced a $3 billion list of U.S. goods for possible retaliation in a tariff dispute with President Donald Trump and girded Friday for a bigger battle over technology policy as financial markets sank on fears of global disruption.

It urged Washington to negotiate a settlement but set no deadline.

It gave no indication of a possible response but a foreign ministry spokeswoman said Beijing was "fully prepared to defend" its interests.

"We don't want a trade war, but we are not afraid of it," said the spokeswoman, Hua Chunying.

On Wall Street, stocks were mixed Friday, but Asian financial markets sank on concern the escalating tensions might disrupt the biggest global trading relationship or lead other nations to raise import barriers.
