Trump indicated that US and China are “having some very good conversations” on trade. And China want to make deal “very badly” and “it could happen sooner than you think.” He added that’s “because they’re losing their jobs, because their supply chain is going to hell and companies are moving out of China and they’re moving to lots of other places, including the United States.” Additionally, China is “starting to buy our agricultural product again… starting to go with the beef and all of the different things, pork, very big on pork.”
The comments came just a day after Trump’s harsh criticism on China at the United Nations General Assembly. He said “not only has China declined to adopt promised reforms, it has embraced an economic model dependent on massive market barriers, heavy state subsidies, currency manipulation, product dumping, forced technology transfers and the theft of intellectual property and also trade secrets on a grand scale”. And, “as far as America is concerned, those days are over.”
