Reuters: Exclusive: Trump does not anticipate much from China trade talks this week
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump does not expect much progress from trade talks with China this week in Washington, he told Reuters on Monday.
Trump said in an interview that he had “no time frame” for ending the trade dispute with China. “I’m like them, I have a long horizon,” he added.
The talks this week come as new U.S. tariffs on $16 billion of Chinese goods take effect, along with retaliatory tariffs from Beijing on an equal amount of U.S. goods. The U.S. Trade Representative’s Office also is holding hearings this week on proposals for tariffs on a further $200 billion of Chinese goods.
Trump said Chinese negotiators would be arriving shortly, adding he did not “anticipate much” from the mid-level discussions.

Bring on the Great War..... I can’t wait to re-enlist.
Based upon results so far, I think past US Presidents were quick with using the military but so slow to use economic, military and diplomatic power to assert American interests. Clearly they don’t have the sophisticated mind of President Trump who is employing all of these simultaneously.
My hermit crab is more sophisticated than Trump
