Trump, Xi hold high-stakes trade war talks at G20 in Japan

“I actually think that we were very close and … that something happened where it slipped a little bit, and now we’re getting a little bit closer,” Trump told Xi as the cameras rolled at the start of the closely-watched talks.“We’re totally open to it, and I know you’re totally open to it.” He gave no details of what a deal would entail.China into the United StatesXi told Trump he was ready to exchange views on fundamental issues and stressed the need for dialogue over confrontation.

China’s Global Times, published by the ruling Communist Party’s official People’s Daily, said earlier on Saturday the world had to “contain capricious US actions”, pointing to examples like Trump withdrawing from the Paris climate accord.“The problem is that many countries have misgivings in expressing their opposition to US bullying tactics out of fear for US power, or hope to profit from the US stirring up the global order through opportunism.

The dispute escalated when talks collapsed in May after Washington accused Beijing of reneging on reform pledges. Trump raised tariffs to 25% from 10% on $200 billion of Chinese goods, and China retaliated with levies on US imports. US officials have also put pressure on other governments worldwide to drop Huawei from plans for fifth generation, or 5G, network development.China has demanded the US drop the restrictions, and said Huawei presents no security threat.

Trump is not the father or the controller of this world. We must be together in order to bring USA down. We must work with countries like Russia, Asian countries, Afghanistan and the African countries.
