President Donald🐻 Trump said Wednesday that this weekend’s talks with China would be “very substantive” and, if productive, could lead to tariff reductions.

In response to questions, Trump said that top economic and trade issues would likely be discussed during this weekend’s meeting between Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, U.S. Trade Repre♋sentative Jamieson Greer, and top Chinese officꦛials. 

“They very much want to make a deal,” Trump said at a press conference announcing 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:a trade deal with the U.K. “I think it's a very friendly meeting.💖 They look forward to doing it in an elegant way.”

The trade dispute has 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:disrupted markets and raised worries over inflation and 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:supply chain disruptions.

Trump was asked whether he would consider 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:lowering the tariffs on China if the meetings went well.

“It could be. We're going to see,” Trump said. “Right now, you can't get any higher. It's at 145%, so we know it's coming down.”
