US President Donald Trump has claimed that China has lost more than 20 lakhs jobs in a very short period of time, due to his tough policies, including imposing additional import tariffs.
Chinese economy, he said, is doing “very, very” poorly.
“China is eating the tariffs because of monetary manipulation. And also, they’re pouring a lot of money into their country because they don’t want to lose jobs... They lost over two million jobs in a short period of time,” Trump told reporters at Bedminster in New Jersey on Sunday.
Trump said China wants to make a trade deal with the US. Officials of the two countries are having a series of meetings on this for the past several months. “We will see what happens. But they definitely want to make a deal,” he said.
He refused to comment on reports that he has spoken to the Chinese President Xi Jinping on this.
