As China and the U.S. near a new round of trade talks, President Donald Trump said Friday he doesn't feel he needs to secure an agreement before next year's election. Trump told reporters he wants a complete deal with China and won't accept one that only addresses some of the differences
WASHINGTON — As China and the U.S. near a new round of trade talks, President Donald Trump said Friday he doesn't feel he needs to secure an agreement before next year's election.
"I'm not looking for a partial deal, I'm looking for a complete deal," Trump said during a press conference with Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison. Trump says voters understand the"spat" between the U.S. and China and insist the ongoing trade war won't hamper his reelection chances, but he conceded that reaching an agreement"would probably be a positive" for his campaign.
Morrison said Australia has benefited greatly from China's economic growth. At the same time, he said once China's economy got to a certain level,"then you need to be obviously playing to the same rules as those other developed nations."
