President Donald Trump is willing to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping as commercial tensions between the two countries increase.
“Oh, of course, he’s my friend. I like him,” Trump said on Wednesday when asked by a reporter if he would consider talking or meeting with the Chinese leader. “Of course, I would get together with him,” he said.
Trump has announced that he increased China’s rates to 125% after Beijing imposes additional retaliatory rates on American products.
The US president said during another event at the White House today that he believed that “China wants to make a deal.”
Trump, who was answering questions after signing some decrees, said that Japan, South Korea and other countries “are here and we are trying to see them,” but gave no details about whether to refer to officers in these countries in Washington or if there are meetings being scheduled.
Trump said in recent days that Japan and South Korea were sending people to the US to talk about an agreement.
“Everyone wants to make a deal, in fact. We want to do what is right for our country, we also want to do what is right for the world,” said Trump.
The US President’s statements came after the closing of US markets, which fired after he posted on social networks that he authorized a 90 -day break in “reciprocal” tariffs, except for China.
