“DEAL WITH CHINA A MATTER OF WEEKS” Trump Hints At Tariff Rollback | Exposes Xi's Call To Him

While China has denied formal negotiations, Trump is confident that a deal is imminent in the coming weeks. He indicated a "number" that would make China comfortable, but the tariffs continue to cause market uncertainty and global recession fears.
