“I think that in China they considered that they suffered such a crushing defeat at the recent negotiations that they could wait until the next elections in 2020 and see if they were lucky and the democrat would win,” Trump wrote in his microblog on Twitter.

According to him, such an outcome of the American elections would allow China to continue to “rob” the United States by $ 500 billion a year.

"It would be reasonable for them to act now," said the head of the United States, noting at the same time the benefits of high duties on Chinese products.
