WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump has presented Chinese leader Xi Jinping with a carrot and a stick on trade negotiations between their two countries, three days after their meeting in Argentina during the G-20 summit.

In a series of tweets on Dec. 4, he recalled their “wonderful and very warm dinner” where the two discussed trade, and affirmed that both leaders “want this deal to happen.”
