U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday suggested he could sign a long-awaited trade agreement with China in the farm state of Iowa, which has been hard hit by tariffs in a nearly 16-month trade war between the world’s largest economies.

Trump said on Friday evening that negotiations about a “phase one” agreement were going well and he hoped to sign the deal with Chinese President Xi Jinping at a U.S. location when work on the agreement was completed.

“We’re looking at a different couple of locations. It could even be in Iowa,” he told reporters at the White House. “We’re discussing locations, but I like to get deals done first.”

talk about your Presidential level trolling ...

AND if President Trump actually does something like that, the dying lying leftist fake stream enemedia and their Democrat Party subsidiary will be HOWLING about it being nothing but a political stunt “beneath the Presidency”, etc. ... Of course, a stunt that draws a negative media reaction is pretty much the only way that President Trump can get the dying lying leftist fake stream enemedia to publicize any of his actual accomplishments, which is why he does stuff like that in the first place ...

He should ask Xi to look at the 1.5 billion dollar Hunter deal at the signing.

In the pursuit of free and open transparency of my administration...I have invited President Xi and his entourage to attend a monster rally in Iowa where the the trade deal will be signed.
