No US-China trade deal before 2020: US President Donald Trump

Washington: US President Donald Trump has said that he does not foresee a “complete” trade agreement with China before the 2020 presidential election. “We’re looking for a complete deal. I’m not looking for a partial deal,” Donald Trump said at a press conference with Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison here on Friday. He said he does not believe it will be possible to reach a trade deal with Beijing before US elections in November next year, reports Efe news. “I don’t think I need it before the election. I think people know that we’re doing a great job,” he added.

Trump said that China’s previous agreement to buy agricultural products would not be enough. He insisted that his relationship with the Chinese president Xi Jinping is “very amazing” and described the ongoing trade dispute as a “little spat”. He added that “China is being affected very badly” by the successive rounds of tariffs imposed by both countries, referring to a slowdown in the pace of economic growth in the Asian nation but insisted that it had not affected the US.
