U.S. will do ‘very well’ with or without a trade deal with China, Trump says GlobeBusiness
U.S. President Donald Trump speaks with reporters outside the White House, in Washington, D.C., on March 8, 2019.U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday said he is confident the United States can forge a trade deal with China, but added that he thinks his country would do very well with or without an agreement with the major Asian economy.
Asked about a report that China was not positive about a trade deal and that a meeting with President Xi Jinping might not happen: “I haven’t heard that. I think we’re doing well ... We’ll do very well either way, with or without a deal.”Earlier on Friday, White House trade adviser Clete Willems the two countries had made progress in talks but that there was still much more left to be done.
China’s exports tumbled the most in three years in February while imports fell for a third straight month, pointing to a further slowdown in the economy and stirring talk of a “trade recession”, despite a spate of support measures.
