Trump said that the US representatives "just returned from China, where they had constructive negotiations related to the future trade transaction."
“We thought we had a deal with China three months ago, but unfortunately, China decided to revise the agreement before signing,” the US leader said.
According to him, “quite recently, China agreed to purchase large quantities of agricultural products in the United States, but did not do that.”
At the same time, he said that “trade negotiations are continuing, and during the negotiations, the US will begin to introduce small additional duties at a rate of 10% on September 1 for the remaining imports from China, which are estimated at $ 300 billion.”
Earlier, Trump said he was optimistic about further negotiations with China on a trade agreement.
Dmitry Rodionov, Director of the Center for Geopolitical Studies at the Institute for Innovative Development, in an interview with FAN, appreciated the trade opposition of Washington and Beijing.
