On Thursday, U.S. President Donald Trump expressed hesitation about further increasing tariffs on China, warning that doing so could hinder trade between the two nations.
“At a certain point, I don’t want them to go higher because at a certain point, you make it where people don’t buy. So I may not want to go higher, or I may not want to even go up to that level,” Donald Trump said, according to Bloomberg. “I may want to go to less because, you know, you want people to buy.”
Speaking from the Oval Office during a meeting with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, Trump also asserted that China had been making repeated efforts to engage with him in hopes of negotiating a deal.
“I have a very good relationship with President Xi, and I think it’s going to continue. And I would say they have reached out a number of times,” Trump said, according to Bloomberg.
When pressed on whether Xi himself directly had contacted him or whether it was Chinese officials, Trump responded, “Well, the same. I view it very similar. It would be the top levels of China.”
