U.S. President Donald Trump said his conversation with Chinese President Xi Jinping last week was friendly and he thought he could reach a trade deal with China.

President Donald Trump said from the White House that he's looking at a 10% tariff on imports from China. He pushed Xi Jinping crack down on fentanyl.

Talking about making a deal over fair trade practices, Trump said that it was possible for him to achieve that with Xi, who he termed as ‘ambitious’.

Much has been made of the impending trade war between the United States and China, but the mercurial Trump might surprise us all.

Trump considers imposing 10% tariff on China due to fentanyl exports to Mexico and Canada, effective February 1.

According to the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), fentanyl is a highly addictive synthetic opioid which presents the deadliest drug threat in the country. US President Donald Trump said he is looking at February 1 as the date for imposing the tariffs.

President Donald Trump could take a slower, more deliberate process in establishing tariffs after promising for months that trade partners would be hit with significant tariffs on his first day in office.

US president Donald Trump has threatened to hit China with 10 per cent tariffs on all imports as soon as 1 February, despite a “very good” call with Chinese president Xi Jinping.

Donald Trump has not yet given any indication that he’ll impose a universal tariff on Day One as part of his blizzard of executive orders.

US President Donald Trump on Tuesday said his team is discussing imposing a 10 per cent tariff on China starting February 1 based on the fact that the latter is sending fentany to Mexico and Canada. “

It was very early Tuesday morning when I finally watched the live presentation of President-elect Trump’s inaugural speech. Later in the day, he signed, as he promised, dozens of executive orders.
