Trump expects ‘very difficult’ China summit

Author: DNA

WASHINGTON: United States (US) President Donald Trump has predicted an upcoming meeting with his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping would be “very difficult.”

Trump’s comments on Thursday appeared to herald a return to a tougher line from the president, who took a hawkish tone on the Asian giant in the weeks after his election before softening his rhetoric.

“The meeting next week with China will be a very difficult one,” Trump tweeted, in apparent reference to a Xi visit planned for next week in Mar-a-Lago.

“We can no longer have massive trade deficits and job losses. American companies must be prepared to look at other alternatives.”

The summit at Trump’s Florida residence will be the first face-to-face meeting between the heads of the world’s two most powerful nations and leading economies.
