Trump says he might be able to get a 'little better' or a 'lot better' trade deal with China if he waits until after the 2020 election.

President Donald Trump says he could wait until after the 2020 election to reach the second part of the trade deal with China.Trump says he thinks he could get a better deal if he waits until after his November reelection bid.

The president said his administration will start "right away" negotiating the next piece of an agreement after striking a so-called phase one deal. But he said "it'll take a little time" to finish an accord, and suggested he could have more leverage after his reelection bid in November. The president and Chinese officials plan to sign a long sought initial piece of a trade agreement on Jan. 15. The deal will involve some tariff relief, increased Chinese purchases on U.S. agricultural goods and changes to intellectual property and technology rules.

Only days before Washington and Beijing announced the first piece of the accord, Trump said that, "in some ways, I like the idea of waiting until after the election for the China deal."

Works for me🤡

He can’t close deals.

The only reason to wait is because the deal will be pathetic and not worth the damage caused. But he wants his supporters to get him elected before he springs that otherwise there would be no reason to wait as it’s costing us millions

I say .. great idea. Trumps got way too much on his plate right now to give China his full attention.

Liar realDonaldTrump

😂😂the Art of the deal Chinese style This is your regular reminder Donald Trump is an abysmal dealmaker and that has been true since at least the late 1980s. It’s just happening on a bigger and more consequential stage now.

He'll be a memory.

Lie why would he wait

That's because he knows he cannot get a dal done before election, given what took 2 years for a 'nothing' deal. We haven't gained one ounce of benefit. All that is there in the phase 1 is go back to reduced tariffs.

Fake deal!

This is a sham. How can Xi let Trump go his own bold way pretending he's in control ?

Every day Xi holds off Trump is a win. China will laugh as our farmers lose everything, will they be bought out of their land by corporations as has happened in other countries? Trump sends Navarro out when it gets too hot, “deal coming soon!” yeah right trump is a damn fool.

Bull.

Because of course the president only knows how to cheat at golf.

Trump supporters kneeling and bowing: ' We believe you great one.'

better wait for the report before expressing his OPINION

BESTPresidentEVER

Meanwhile Trump has just concluded the worlds greatest and best Bean deal ever in history!

He needs to keep on manipulating the market and he can't do that if a deal is made. And...he assumed China would cave by now.

Uh huh

Lol, 'he could', but we all know he probably has to because China is giving him a run for his money in the negotiations.

Aren't Americans tired of these lies?

WINNING!!!

Another Bluff - deal will be signed next week.

Like he has a choice

The big deal maker failed to make a deal, oh there's a surprise

now he can tweet that's its coming every two weeks until then! NorthmanTrader

Now what's this Hipster_Trader KingGordonGekko zerohedge ? The translated version is in a safe?

Is this fuss over the disclosures of the actual terms of the so called phase on deal?

Let's see the signature over 'phase one' agreement, first of all.

AND LET CONSUMERS CONTINUE TO PAY TARIFFS AND HIGHER PRODUCT COSTS. HE WOULD THROW AMERICANS UNDER THE BUS TO WIN

But can the rest of the world wait ?

It's because he don't make a deal

Because only AmericanCitizens are feeling the pinch now.

That’s cuz he has no solution.

Trump unfurls a new attack for 2020: Dems as Iran sympathizersThe president’s quick deployment of his Iran strike as a rhetorical weapon against Democrats carries risks for the GOP — if Iran’s promised retaliation draws the U.S. into another protracted Middle East war. Does this phrase ring a bell? President Trump ordered assassination of General Soleimani to divert attention for Impeachment and to consolidate his Anti-Iran constituency, mostly Zionists.
