Trump ready to slap more tariffs on China after G20 meeting

WASHINGTON/BEIJING (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday he was ready to impose another round of punitive tariffs on Chinese imports if he cannot make progress in trade talks with China's President at a Group of 20 summit later this month.

Since two days of talks to resolve the U.S.-China trade dispute last month in Washington ended in a stalemate, Trump has repeatedly said he expected to meet President Xi Jinping at the June 28-29 summit in Osaka, Japan. China has not confirmed any such meeting.

Trump said last week he would decide after the meeting of the leaders of the world's largest economies whether to carry out a threat to impose tariffs on at least $300 billion in Chinese goods.

In comments to reporters on Monday, Trump said he still thought the meeting with Xi would happen.

Says the terrorist with the gun to his own head.

If I were China, I'd ignore the fuck out of him just now, and dare him to pull the trigger (China, if you're seeing this, ya please actually DONT do that...some of us are not so stupid as our 'leader')...

Mr. Bear could put the hurt on Apple and companies needing rare earths. Mr. Bear does not care if his family goes hungry so long as the crazed GOP buffoon falls. Globalization of manufacturing has involved a lot of one-way moves, as China knows quite well.

Could reduce or cut off shipments of 2019 Christmas toys and winter fashion, too. Now THAT would bring rebellion on U.S. streets.
