U.S. President Donald Trump said Tuesday a trade deal with China might have to wait until after the U.S. presidential election in November 2020, denting hopes that the two largest economies would soon reach an initial deal to ease their damaging trade war.
"I have no deadline, no," Trump told reporters in London, where he is attending a meeting of NATO leaders.
"In some ways, I like the idea of waiting until after the election for the China deal. But they want to make a deal now, and we'll see whether or not the deal's going to be right — it's got to be right."
