New Delhi, April 14 -- Robinder Sachdev, Foreign Expert, on Tuesday said that China's reaction to US President Donald Trump's 50% tariffs are what a self-respecting nation would do.

Sachdev, in a conversation with ANI, said that Trump is using the tariffs as his bargaining chip against China.

"The statement by China regarding the threats by Trump of a 50% tariff are I think what any self-respecting sovereign state would say. Bilateral relations between any two nations are between those two nations. There is no reason for a third nation to intervene and especially threaten what each of these two actors does," Sachdev said.

The comments were in reference to the fact that Trump threatened China of 50% tariffs if it traded weapons to Iran....
