President Trump said that it might be better to wait until after the 2020 election to strike a trade deal with China, CNBC reports.
Said Trump: “In some ways, I like the idea of waiting until after the election for the China deal, but they want to make a deal now and we will see whether or not the deal is going to be right,”
Bloomberg: “Stocks dropped in Europe and U.S. equity futures sold off as Trump’s comments indicated no urgency to reach a deal by Dec. 15.”
