Comments from Trump
I don't think his rhetoric is going to make a deal any easier.
In the next breath he said China talks were going well, so who knows where they stand. However Global Times editor Hu Xijin responded to Trump's earlier tweet with this:
"Whenever it's time to negotiate, the US side comes up with the trick of piling pressure. Really not a good habit. Americans need to change their negotiating style, show more sincerity, not just wield stick. The past one and half years have proved big stick is useless to China."
Does anyone think a deal is going to happen?
More from Trump, who is speaking to reporters:
- Fed moved far too early and far too severely
- Would like to see quantitative tightening stopped
- Would like to see a large rate cut before year end
- Says he is disappointed in the Fed
- Says he's not sure if he will accept China's offer in talks
- Says it's up to him, not China, for a deal to be reached
