"We're moving along with China. We're doing fine with China," Trump told reporters at the White House. "I think it's going to work out very well. We're right in step. I think we're going to have a very fair deal with China."

The U.S. and China had agreed to pause most of the sky-high tariffs on each others’ goods amid trade negotiations – but that pause is set to expire in August.

Trump started hiking tariffs on Chinese goods shortly after his return to the White House. China ultimately responded with tariffs of its own. Tensions escalated, with tariff rates hitting the triple digits, before a trade truce in May.
