President Donald Trump said there has been progress toward a trade deal with China, but denied that he was considering lifting tariffs on Chinese imports.

“Things are going very well with China and with trade,” he told reporters Jan. 19 at the White House, adding that he had seen some “false reports” indicating that U.S. tariffs on Chinese products would be lifted.
