“We’re going to have meetings and calls with President Xi,” Trump said.
—
Trump made the announcement in response to reporters’ questions while signing executive actions in the Oval Office on his first day back in the White House.
Trump threatened tariffs of as much as 60% on China during his campaign, but appeared to temper his plans after a phone call last week with Chinese President Xi Jinping. He said Monday there would be more discussions with his counterpart in the world’s second largest economy.
