After a weekend of escalated trade tensions, President Donald Trump said he’s hopeful a trade deal would be negotiated with China, noting on Aug. 26 that China wants “to make a deal very badly.”
“I think they want to make a deal very badly, I think that was elevated last night,” Trump told reporters at a press conference at the G-7 Summit in France, referring to public statements made the night before by Chinese Vice Premier Liu He, who said he wanted a “calm resolution.”
