Trump sounded upbeat on trade negotiation with China today. He told reporters at the White House that “we’re doing very well with China”. And, “I think that we are going to be able to do a deal with China… China wants to negotiate”.
On the other hand, Trump rejected fellow Republican’ Lindsey Graham’s proposal to sign a stopgap spending bill to buy more time for talks on the border wall. Trump said, “I did reject it… I’m not interested. I want to get it solved. I don’t want to just delay it. I want to get it solved”.
US government shutdown is now in the record fourth week as Trumps insists on demanding the funding for border wall.
