Trump hails economic boom, says China trade deal is ‘close’ 0 SHARES Share it! While he said the partial trade deal he announced last month with China was “close” he warned he would jack up tariffs even further should the pact fail to materialize. “A deal could happen soon,” Trump said following an address to the Economic Club of New York. It warned that the trade wars threaten almost 1.5 million jobs across the United States which depend on the movement of goods through ports in southern California that are heavily reliant on trade with China. “If we don’t make a deal, we’re going to substantially raise those tariffs,” Trump said Tuesday.
