Trump says China's Xi hard to make a deal with' amid trade dispute
Briefly

US-China trade relations are experiencing significant strain over the implementation of recent tariff agreements. President Trump expressed frustration with China's compliance, calling Xi Jinping tough to negotiate with. Following an unprecedented agreement in May that reduced tariffs on both sides, the US has reportedly violated the terms, according to China's Ministry of Commerce. The US halted technology sales to China and imposed restrictions affecting Chinese companies. These tensions have led to Trump planning discussions with Xi to resolve ongoing trade disputes, but analysts remain skeptical about the sustainability of the agreement.
Trump asserted on his Truth Social platform that negotiating with Xi Jinping is exceptionally challenging, citing China's violation of the recent tariff rollback agreement.
The White House indicated that Trump plans to converse with Xi to resolve differences on tariffs amidst intensifying trade tensions between the U.S. and China.
The agreement reached in Geneva in May, which lowered tariffs on both sides, was lauded as a surprising step towards reducing friction, yet remains contentious.
China's Ministry of Commerce accused the U.S. of severe violations of the agreement, highlighting the suspension of tech sales and visa cancellations as key issues.
