Trump claimed earlier this month that after the latest round of trade talks between the two countries, "China felt they were being beaten so badly in the recent negotiation that they may as well wait around for the next election", urging Beijing to strike a quick trade deal.

The latest round of US-China trade negotiations ended this week in Washington DC, failing to produce any results. At the same time, the White House introduced a new set of tariffs on 200$ Billion worth of Chinese goods. Beijing has already vowed to retaliate against Washington's move.

Since then, the sides have exchanged several rounds of trade duties.
