President Donald Trump said on April 23 that his administration may be open to reaching a “special deal” with China that would see a reduction in tariffs on Chinese imports but stressed that such an agreement would depend on Beijing’s actions.

Speaking to reporters during an Oval Office meeting, Trump said he could announce new tariffs on nearly all of the United States’ trading partners in the next two or three weeks, adding that his administration would be “fair” in the rates that were levied on those nations.
