LONDON—President Donald Trump said a trade agreement with China might have to wait until after the election in November 2020.

“I have no deadline, no. In some ways, I think I think it’s better to wait until after the election with China,” Trump told reporters in London, where he was due to attend a meeting of NATO leaders.
