As predicted, China's incentive is to be uncooperative
*CHINA: IF THE U.S. REALLY WANTS TO MAKE A DEAL, THEY SHOULD DROP ALL UNILATERAL TARIFFS
*THERE HAVE NOT BEEN ECONOMIC & TRADE NEGOTIATIONS BETWEEN CHINA & USNext seems likely that the US walks back its China tariffs…

Leavitt: there will be no reduction in tariffs against China.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said this afternoon that the Trump administration will not unilaterally reduce tariffs imposed on China.
“Let me be clear, there will be no unilateral reduction in tariffs against China,” she said in an interview on Fox News. “The president has made it clear China needs to make a deal with the United States of America, and we are optimistic that will happen.”
She rejected the idea that Trump’s position on tariffs on China has been softening.
