Trump Says He Had ‘Very Productive’ Call With China on Trade

(Bloomberg) --

President Donald Trump said his administration had a “very productive” call with China and that he thinks Beijing wants to “do something dramatic” on trade.

“They really would like to make a deal,” Trump said Tuesday before boarding a helicopter in Morristown, New Jersey. He said the call took place on Monday.

The Trump administration earlier Tuesday said it will delay until mid-December the 10% tariff on some Chinese products on many holiday-shopping lists, including some cell phones and toys.
