NEW YORK - U.S. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross on Tuesday rejected any deadlines on a trade deal with China and launched a fresh attack on telecoms giant Huawei, further dimming hopes for an end to a 17-month trade war that has slowed global growth.

Trump, speaking in Europe on Tuesday, said an interim trade deal with China could slip until after the U.S. presidential election in November 2020, sending financial markets lower. Final approval would be up to Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping, Ross noted. “We get to recommend. We don’t get to be the final decision maker.”

“There already has been a tariff war. The only thing is we haven’t been defending ourselves. We’ve been accepting the lopsidedness of things,” he said. “We’ve been having negotiations with the individual companies. We’ve had some very good benefits from that,” Ross said. “It may or may not turn out that there is any need for the tariff.”

Sychopants constantly justifying Pres.Trump's impulsive non-strategical 'policies' nonsense.

Does China’s reluctance to deal due to their view that Trump will lose re-election? Possible.

The wealthy people sure aren't in any hurry to end the war.

There are 7.7 billion people in the world. Excluding 1.4 billion Chinese people, you still can get 6.3 billion people to trade with that can respect freedom and human rights CCP is a threat to the world. Unless you want to loose your freedom under Communist domination

Right! Leave the tricky task to the successor

Let’s not be stupid. They’re waiting til a month before the election so they can ride the Dow bump....

America will end up worse off than when we started and will have lost most of our major crop supply chains. With FauxNews hiding this devastating reality from their viewers, Trump supporters will remain completely in the dark and shielded from the truth.

MrBoneSpur is jerking the market around with his tweets about the China trade talks on again or off again to help his friends to sell short or long on the rise and fall of the markets. 🍑 the 💩

He woke up?

why, so he can maximize his profits?

He was awake long enough to put that many words together? Wow.

Oh, he just woke up. Too bad.
