Trump Says Chinese Leader Called About Tariffs: “Not a Sign of Weakness”

In a bold new interview with Time, U.S. President Donald Trump said that China’s President personally called him as the two countries work on a possible tariff deal. Trump confirmed that talks are ongoing, even though China has challenged the U.S. version of events.

“I don’t think that shows weakness on his part,” Trump said confidently. He suggested a breakthrough might be near, adding that several deals could be announced in the coming weeks. “There’s a number they’re okay with — but we can’t let them make a trillion dollars from us.”

Is this real diplomacy or just another turn in the trade war?
