He said at the Irish airport of Shannon on his way to France for a D-Day commemoration that the talks with China had a lot of interesting things. They’ll see what happens. He could go up at least 300 billion USD more and he’ll do that at the right time,” Trump said. He added that he thinks China and Mexico want to make a deal badly.
China’s Commerce ministry spokesman Gao Feng said if the US wants a fight, China will fight until the end. He said China will adopt necessary countermeasures and resolutely safeguard the interests of China and its people if the US willfully decides to escalate trade tensions.
