President Trump, whose trade war with China has rattled financial markets and threatened to disrupt huge swaths of trade, suggested on Friday that he has been in touch with Xi Jinping, China’s president, even as officials in China insist that no negotiations are occurring.
Yeah! The President of the United States lying about having a conversation with the leader of a foreign country that he’s stupidly started a trade war with is in no way news worthy! /s
Or - “China lying about not being in talks with the US”.
This is he said they said BS. Not news.
Trump, known for his honesty… /s
Just because Trump is a liar doesn’t mean China is not. Jesus people, you understand that both sides can be bad right?
It is news if you’re interested in the stock market. If you’re just looking to be informed then the headline would be ‘US President lies to public about progress on trade negotiations’.
