Donald Trump leaves China tariff deadline open, calls relationship 'testy'
WASHINGTON - U.S. President Donald Trump declined to set a deadline on Wednesday for levying tariffs on another $325 billion of Chinese goods and called the relationship with Beijing good but “testy” after China walked back commitments for a trade deal.
“I have no deadline,” he told a news conference, gesturing to his head. “My deadline is what’s up here. We’ll figure out the deadline. Nobody can quite figure it out.” Trump reiterated his belief manufacturers were pulling out of China under pressure from the tariffs that the United States has already imposed, in a boon to U.S. manufacturing.
