Trump Accuses Russia, China of "Playing Currency Devaluation Game"

The US Head of the Government on his "Twitter" has made the statement that China and Russia allegedly play a role in the devaluation of currencies and this is "not acceptable."

In particular, Trump blamed China for currency manipulations and proposed to raise the issue of country's consignment to the rules of the World Trade Organization (WTO). The president has also vowed to impose a 45% tariff on imports from China, blaming the cheap imports for the loss of jobs in the United States.

The US Treasury has again refrained from naming any major trading partners as currency manipulators, as it pursues potential tariffs and negotiations to try to cut the massive trade deficit with China, in a semi-annual report.
