US President Donald Trump is confident of a trade deal with China amid reports a meeting with President Xi Jinping is off and Beijing isn't as optimistic.
President Donald Trump says he is confident the United States can forge a trade deal with China, but added he thinks his country would do very well with or without an agreement with the world's second-largest 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, Trump said"I haven't heard that. I think we're doing well.... We'll do very well either way, with or without a deal." "It could go into April.... We made a lot of agreements here in Washington two weeks ago.... Now it has to go back and clear the top level of President Xi and the politburo in Beijing.... That's the key - not the timing, not even the place - we have to get it right so it's in America's interest," Kudlow said.
The increasingly weak China data comes amid months of intense negotiations between Washington and Beijing aimed at ending their trade dispute.
