President Trump told CNBC earlier this week that he believes China will make a deal with the U.S. “because they’re going to have to.”
"The weaponization of tariffs, the increase of threats on our economy, on our farmers, on our manufacturers, our consumers, is going to hurt our country. It also creates uncertainty with our trading partners," Brilliant said.
The Trump administration aims to strike a trade deal with Beijing to address concerns including intellectual property theft, forced technology transfers and trade deficits. Trump used tariffs to bring China to the negotiating table. The White House touted progress toward an agreement earlier this year before talks crumbled — and Trump hiked tariffs on $200 billion in Chinese goods in May.
But Trump threatened on Monday to pull the trigger on tariffs against Mexico if Mexican lawmakers rejected the deal.
