Trump Says Possible To Reach Trade Deal With China During G20 Summit

WASHINGTON (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 27th November, 2018) The United States and China could reach a trade deal on the sidelines of the G20 Summit in Argentina later this week, US President Donald Trump said on Monday.

"I think it could happen. We have a good relationship. Here's what the bottom line is: China has to treat us fairly," Trump told reporters.

China and the United States became embroiled in a trade dispute after Trump unveiled new steel and aluminum import duties in March. Tensions escalated in May when the Trump administration announced that $50 billion worth of Chinese goods would be subject to 25 percent tariffs, prompting a retaliation from Beijing.

Since then, the Trump administration has imposed tariffs on $250 billion worth of Chinese goods, prompting China to respond by imposing reciprocal tariffs.
