In the middle of the trade war, President Donald Trump said that traveling to China would be open to talk about foreign policy and economic issues with Xi Jinping.
Asked if he wanted to visit XI on a foreign journey during an interview with Fox News, which was broadcast on Friday, Trump said, “I would definitely” add that the relationship between China and the US was “important”, Bloomberg said.
In his second administration, the US President repeatedly showed eagerness to discuss with the Chinese leader. At the beginning of the week, he expected both of them to speak by phone after their deputies were considering a temporary ceasefire in a trade war led by Trump, who stored tariffs on Chinese goods.
The US has reduced charges for Chinese imports, while Chinese obligations to US goods have decreased on the basis of this 90 -day agreement.
The US urged the trade battle with China, an attempt Trump framed as an act of generosity towards the second largest economy in the world. After recent interviews, the US reduced its level to China to 30% of 145% and Beijing reduced its own level of duties from 125% to 10%, with nations trying to discuss more.
“If I didn’t do it with China, I think China would disintegrate,” Trump said.
Trump depicted his Akdom visit to Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates aimed at maintaining nations outside the Beijing sphere of influence. “They went to China, and it would be their parent, and that is not happening,” Trump said about three Arab states. He said that nations are “very important to keep in our fold”.
“Among very, very strong agreements with China”: Trump
“We have a limitation very, very strong agreement with China. But the most interesting part of the agreement … This is the opening of China to the American business,” Trump said the American broadcaster, while on board the Air Force on the way to the beginning of its bay, according to AFP. “One of the things I think could be the most exciting for us and also for China is that we are trying to open China,” he said without details.
