WASHINGTON (AP) — Trade
talks between the U.S. and
China broke up Friday with
no agreement, hours after
President Donald Trump
more than doubled tariffs
on $200 billion in Chinese
imports. Trump asserted
on Twitter that there was
“no need to rush” to get a
deal between the world’s
two biggest economies
and later added that the
tariffs “may or may not be
removed depending on
what happens with respect
to future negotiations.”
A White House official,
speaking on condition of
anonymity because they
were not authorized to
speak publicly on the mat-
ter, confirmed that the
talks had concluded for
the day but could not say
when they would resume. A bulk carrier ship is loaded, Friday, May 10, 2019, at the Temco grain terminal at the Port of Tacoma in Tacoma, Wash. U.S. and
