“Certainly, there’s ground for optimism,” said one industry insider. “However, we have to remember there have been a lot of negotiations between China and the U.S. where they seem to be close to a deal and then things fell apart.”
A potential trade deal with China fell-apart at the last-minute months ago; sparking a series of tariffs between the two global trading partners.
“Over the course of the past two days, the United States and China have held candid and constructive conversations on the status of the trade relationship between both countries. The relationship between President Xi and myself remains a very strong one, and conversations into the future will continue. In the meantime, the United States has imposed Tariffs on China, which may or may not be removed depending on what happens with respect to future negotiations!” tweeted the President in May.
