President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that China wants to "make a deal" with the U.S.
"China also wants to make a deal, badly, but they don’t know how to get it started," Trump said in a post on Truth Social. "We are waiting for their call. It will happen!"
The post comes a day after Trump threatened to impose an additional 50% duty on U.S. imports from China if Beijing did not drop the 34% tariffs it imposed on U.S. products last week.
