Trump warns US-China trade deal might not happen

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

President Donald Trump said Monday he is optimistic that a final trade deal can be reached with China and that he will hold a summit to sign any pact, but he cautioned that an agreement may still not happen.

Speaking at the White House a day after signaling that he planned to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping to conclude any deal, Trump told a group of U.S. governors that while a U.S.-China trade pact could happen soon, a deal also may not be reached.

"It might not happen at all, okay? Might not happen at all, but I think it's going to happen and it could happen fairly soon. The relationship is great," the Republican U.S. president said. Both sides were "very, very close," he added.

On Sunday, Trump said he would delay an increase in U.S. tariffs on $200 billion worth of Chinese imports, set for Friday, due to "productive" trade talks. Assuming additional progress is made on both sides, Trump said he planned to meet with Xi at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida.

3. Providing himself cover in case he screws

the deal so badly China walks out? As badly informed as he is, and given his penchant for dismissing the experts, there's all the makings for another one of Trump's all too predictable international incidents.
