Trump Says China's Xi Is 'Extremely Hard to Make a Deal With'

[Dulcinea]

(Bloomberg) -- President Donald Trump said in a late-night social media post that Chinese leader Xi Jinping was very tough to make a deal with, raising questions about whether a fragile economic truce between the world’s two largest economies will hold.

China and the US are at odds on a number of issues, and have yet to confirm plans for a leader-to-leader call the White House has said it expects will happen later this week.

“I like President XI of China, always have, and always will, but he is VERY TOUGH, AND EXTREMELY HARD TO MAKE A DEAL WITH!!!” Trump posted on Truth Social at around 2:17 a.m. Washington time.

“China’s principle and position of developing China-US relations is consistent,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian said at a regular press conference on Wednesday when asked about Trump’s social media post about Xi.

Gaza - GQP looks the other way while genocide is happening, looking forward for that beach resort.

Israel - sizable citizenry are against what BiBi is doing, and he does not care.

India/Pakistani - tensions are high.

Greenland - working with Europe re minerals.
