Trump claimed that China’s growth slowing to worst in 27 years was a result of his tariffs, that prompted companies to leave China. And, this is why China wants to make a trade deal with him. He hailed his tariffs are bringing in billions of dollar, and they pay by “devaluing & pumping”.
In his tweet, Trump said: “China’s 2nd Quarter growth is the slowest it has been in more than 27 years. The United States Tariffs are having a major effect on companies wanting to leave China for non-tariffed countries. Thousands of companies are leaving. This is why China wants to make a deal with the U.S., and wishes it had not broken the original deal in the first place. In the meantime, we are receiving Billions of Dollars in Tariffs from China, with possibly much more to come. These Tariffs are paid for by China devaluing & pumping, not by the U.S. taxpayer!”
