On trade war with China, Trump insisted things are going well. He told reports at the White House that “China would love to make a deal with us. We had a deal and they broke the deal. I think if they had it to do again they wouldn’t have done what they did.”
On the tariffs, he said “China is subsidizing products, so the United States taxpayers are paying for very little of it.” And pointed to the little impact of tariffs on inflation.
Trump also said, “I think we’re doing very well with China.”
