Trump hints at potential U.S.-China trade deal talks, China denies
In a recent interview with "Time Magazine," U.S. President Donald Trump dropped a bombshell, suggesting that he's been chatting it up with China's Xi Jinping about a possible trade agreement. But China's foreign ministry's initial response? Crickets.
The ball's been in China's court so far, with Beijing flat-out denying American reports of ongoing talks. Trump didn't dish the deets on when exactly the call went down or what was discussed. He did mention, though, that he don't think it's a sign of weakness on Xi's part to pick up the phone.
With the Red Panda seemingly shy on the communication front, the U.S. government's been warning against misleading the public on the status of the whole shebang. The U.S. has been swinging some serious tariffs China's way, and Beijing's responded with its own round of retaliation. The whole thing's got economists and politicians sweating bullets over a global trade brawl.
Timeline for tariff deals: Trump's perspective
Trump's got his eye on the prize, aiming for tariff deals to go down in the next three to four weeks. When pressed on whether he'd call a victory if the U.S. were still slapping a hefty 50% tariff on China a year from now, his response was, "A total victory."
The President also weighed in on other pressing issues, like Russia's thing with Ukraine and the potential involvement of Saudi Arabia in the Abraham Accords. But that's another story for another time.
