WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday he would impose additional tariffs on China if he did not reach a trade deal with Chinese leader Xi Jinping.
“I would do additional tariffs, very substantial additional tariffs, if that doesn’t work, if we don’t make a deal,” Trump said in an interview with Fox Business Network. But he left open the possibility that the two leaders could make a deal to avert further tariffs at the G20 summit in Japan.
