US President Donald Trump delivering remarks at the White House. "When a country (USA) is losing many billions of dollars on trade with virtually every country it does business with, trade wars are good, and easy to win," Trump said on Twitter on Friday. Europe has drawn up a list of US products on which to apply tariffs if Trump follows through on his plan. "We held frank conversations," a White House spokeswoman said. White House officials said Trump himself did not stop by the meeting with Liu as he sometimes does when senior foreign dignitaries, including Chinese officials, are visiting.
