(MENAFN- Live Mint) The Foreign Ministry of China has responded to US President Donald Trump's statement on the trade deal with China.

“US can't say it want to reach an agreement with China and on the other hands keeps exerting extreme pressure,” Reuters reported quoting the Foreign Ministry.

Previously, President Donald Trump proposed to be“very nice” to China during any trade talks initiated between the two countries, and the tariffs would decline if they could reach a deal, indicating a change from his tough stance on Beijing amid market volatility.

“It will come down substantially but it won't be zero,” Trump said Tuesday in Washington. His comments come after Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said that the deadlock between the two economies was unsustainable. Trump further said,“we're going to be very nice and they're going to be very nice, and we'll see what happens.”

He mentioned that there isn't any reason for him to“play hardball” with Chinese leader Xi Jinping. Trump assured that during discussions, he wouldn't speak about COVID-19. The White House in a recently launched a website stating that the virus came from a lab in China, reported Bloomberg.
