Trump says China 'broke the deal' in trade talks, will pay through tariffs
PANAMA CITY BEACH, Fla. (Reuters) - President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that China broke the deal in trade talks with Washington and would face stiff tariffs if no agreement is reached.
You see the tariffs were doing? Trump told a rally with supporters in Florida. Because they broke the deal. ... They broke the deal. So theyre flying in. The vice premier tomorrow is flying in, but they broke the deal. They cant do that. So theyll be paying. If we dont make the deal, nothing wrong with taking in more than $100 billion a year.
Trump has threatened to impose additional tariffs on Chinese goods beginning on Friday after China backtracked on substantial commitments it made during ongoing trade talks, top U.S. trade officials said this week.

Of course he doesn't understand how it works but he's been told it will achieve what Putin/republicans and other shady characters want.
