China's Commerce Minister Wang Wentao said US tariffs will "inflict serious harm" on poor nations, according to a statement from his ministry released on Saturday.
"These US 'reciprocal tariffs' will inflict serious harm on developing countries, especially the least developed countries, and could even trigger a humanitarian crisis," Wang told the World Trade Organization (WTO)'s chief Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala in a call on Friday, the statement said.
