Putin calls U.S. tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles 'unfair competition'
Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Friday during a visit to China that U.S. tariffs on Chinese-made electric vehicles were an example of unfair competition.
"Unfortunately, the way the world works today, sometimes situations arise related to unfair competition. This is how the Americans recently imposed sanctions on China on electric transport, on electric cars," said Putin.
"Why? Because Chinese cars have got better," he said.
