Trump: China calling ‘a lot’ since last week's tariff increase, deal could happen as soon as 3 weeks
Fox News
President Trump was probed Thursday by reporters over the status of his negotiations with China.
"They have reached out a number of times," Trump said, referring to high-level Chinese officials. When asked how frequently they've been in touch since last week – after Trump tripled his Chinese tariff increase from 54% to 145% – the president responded, "A lot."
His comments come amid media reports that Trump has indicated he is unwilling to reach out to China first amid the ongoing trade war. According to sources close to Trump, U.S. officials have been urging the Chinese to initiate a call between Xi and Trump, but so far they have not.
