Trump Says He'll Raise Tariffs on China Again if Xi Won't Meet at G-20

President Donald Trump threatened to raise tariffs on China again if President Xi Jinping doesn’t meet with him at the upcoming Group of 20 summit in Japan. Trump said in an interview with CNBC anchors on Monday that tariffs on about $300 billion in Chinese goods would be enacted immediately if the Chinese leader skips the summit.

“I think he will go and I think we’re scheduled to have a meeting. I think he’ll go, and I have a great relationship with him, he’s actually an incredible guy, he’s a great man, he’s very strong, very smart ...”

Trump has touted the migration agreement he struck with Mexico last week as a sign of his deal-making acumen. “China is going to make a deal because they’re going to have to make a deal,” Trump said Monday.

Is doing to trump right now what his people did to his face when in a meeting with him, and he showed them how stupid he really is , then laughed to his face at him. The China leader is laughing this morning at him too. Any leaders around the world should run from him if he wants a meeting with them, because its almost always not good for them trying to deal with a completely corrupt serial lying criminal who'll never keep his word on anything.
