President
Donald Trump cast more doubt on chances for a trade deal with
Beijing on Friday, signaling he might cancel talks set for September amid an intensifying US-China trade war.
"We'll see whether or not we keep our meeting in September," Trump told reporters at the
White House before heading out for fundraisers in
New York and then vacation at his New Jersey
golf resort.
Relations have soured further in the past week after Trump announced a new round of punitive
tariffs on Chinese goods, despite a truce agreed with President
Xi Jinping in May, and Beijing responded by halting all purchases of US agricultural goods.
