<h1>Government condemns proposal for allied members to impose tariffs on countries importing third-state oil, warns of retaliation</h1> One government condemned a rival state's request that G7 and NATO members impose tariffs on countries importing oil from a third state, calling the proposal unilateral economic coercion and threatening retaliatory measures if implemented. The government defended its energy and trade ties as lawful and WTO-consistent, argued sanctions and long-arm jurisdiction disrupt global supply chains and violate international trade rules, and reiterated its preference for dialogue to resolve the related conflict. It warned it would safeguard sovereignty, security and development interests should its legitimate rights be harmed.
