US President Donald Trump said on Twitter Saturday that China should act now in terms of the ongoing Sino-US trade talks or the deal could become “far worse” for Beijing if it has to be re-negotiated in his second presidential term.
Trump said that China “may as well wait” for the 2020 US elections and hope for a Democrat to win.
Trump said in an earlier Twitter post that the possibility of removing tariffs depended on the outcome of future negotiations between the United States and China. Trump added that the latest tariffs, which went into effect at 12:01 a.m. on Friday, would produce “massive payments” that would go directly to the US Treasury Department.
