US President Donald Trump announced Monday that his government has received a communication from the Chinese authorities saying they are willing to return to the negotiating table to discuss a trade agreement.
"China called our sales managers last night and asked to return to the table ... It is a very positive event for everyone," Trump said during a brief statement together with the Egyptian president, Abdelfatah al Sisi, with whom met today on the sidelines of the G7 summit.
In addition, he expressed his "great respect" for the Chinese president, Xi Jinping, for taking this step and pointing out that "they want an agreement" to end the trade war between the United States and China, which has been going on for a year and a half.
Steps like this show "why Xi is a great leader", since "he understands how things work".
Trump, in a very positive tone, stressed that "we will start very soon" the talks with Beijing and "we will see what happens", but he stressed that "they want to reach an agreement", something he considered "very important".
This announcement comes after last Friday Donald Trump climbed two new steps in the trade war with China, after Beijing announced retaliatory tariffs against the United States.
That day, Trump announced that he would increase two rounds of tariffs previously announced and that have not yet entered into force, and further advanced that he could invoke the National Emergency Law to order US companies operating in China to abandon their activities in that country. . EFE
