President Donald Trump said on Dec. 12 the United States and the Chinese regime were “very close” to reaching a trade deal, just three days before new U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports are due to kick in.

“Getting VERY close to a BIG DEAL with China,” Trump said on Twitter. “They want it, and so do we.”
