Trump: US not ready to make trade deal with China

President Donald Trump says the U.S. isn't ready to make a trade deal with China, but he's leaving open the possibility that the two nations could strike an agreement someday.Speaking in Tokyo Monday, Trump said of China, "they would like to make a deal. We're not ready to make a deal."He added, "We're taking in tens of millions of dollars of tariffs and that number could go up very, very substantially, very easily."Still, Trump predicted a "very good deal with China sometime into the future because I don't believe that China can continue to pay these really hundreds of billions of dollars in tariffs."The world's two largest economies are in a tense standoff over trade. Trump has said he expected to meet with his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping, next month at a G-20 meeting in Japan. (AP)
