Trump says he might be able to get a 'little better' or a 'lot better' trade deal with China if he waits until after the 2020 election.
President Donald Trump says he could wait until after the 2020 election to reach the second part of the trade deal with China.Trump says he thinks he could get a better deal if he waits until after his November reelection bid.
The president said his administration will start "right away" negotiating the next piece of an agreement after striking a so-called phase one deal. But he said "it'll take a little time" to finish an accord, and suggested he could have more leverage after his reelection bid in November. The president and Chinese officials plan to sign a long sought initial piece of a trade agreement on Jan. 15. The deal will involve some tariff relief, increased Chinese purchases on U.S. agricultural goods and changes to intellectual property and technology rules.
Only days before Washington and Beijing announced the first piece of the accord, Trump said that, "in some ways, I like the idea of waiting until after the election for the China deal."
