President Donald Trump listed rare earths, fentanyl, soybeans and Taiwan as the US’s top issues with China, underlining the divisive topics the two sides plan to tackle at the negotiating table as a fragile trade truce nears its expiration.
Trump reiterated his threat to follow through on his tariff hike on Chinese goods if there isn’t a deal by his deadline, but also said he plans to keep his meeting with Xi Jinping and that he thinks the US and China will have a really fair and really great trade deal together.
