EU Support For US In Dispute With China Would Be Short-Sighted - Russian Economy Ministry

MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 22nd August, 2018) Support for the US position on the part of the European Union in the trade dispute with China would be strange and short-sighted, since the US methods contradict World Trade Organization norms, Russian Economic Development Ministry trade negotiations department chief Maxim Medvedkov said Wednesday.

"It would be extremely strange and short-sighted on the part of the EU to support the United States in its choice of methods of influencing China, which obviously do not correspond to the letter and spirit of the WTO," Medvedkov said in an interview with Sputnik.
