Trump said that trade negotiations with China “essentially has already begun”. And, negotiators were “speaking very much on phone they are also meeting”. He remained optimistic and said “I think we have a good chance of making a deal”.
Though, he emphasized that China has had a “big advantage”over the US in trade for “many years”. Hence, “obviously you can’t make a 50-50 deal. It has to be a deal that is somewhat tilted to our advantage.”
