Trump: If President Xi does not attend G-20, more China tariffs will go into effect immediately

President Trump threatened more tariffs on Chinese imports if President Xi Jinping is not at this month’s G-20 meeting.

The president previously threatened to put levies on another $300 billion in Chinese goods if an agreement is not reached soon.

President Donald Trump confirmed on Monday that additional tariffs on Chinese goods will be levied if Chinese President Xi Jinping does not attend this month’s G-20 meeting. When asked during a telephone interview if that means the new tariffs would go into effect immediately, Trump told CNBC’s Becky Quick, “Yes, it would.”

The president previously threatened to put levies on another $300 billion in Chinese goods if a trade agreement is not reached soon. The Trump administration increased tariffs last month on $200 billion worth of goods the U.S. imports from China.

This could cause a Bond-villain type of reaction.

Which I would love to see. The masks are coming off.

There is no other politician who as President would be able, and have the desire and fortitude to do so, than Donald J. Trump. This guy is a godsend. My son and wife are slowly, if reluctantly, beginning to realize this. They both “held their noses” to vote for him because they couldn’t stand the thought of Hillary as President. But they are both having to admit that Trump is on the cusp of accomplishing things for us that no one else could possibly do, despite his brash style.

A 20% levy on $550bil in goods is over $100bil.

That will drive innumerable lost sales, probably cutting revenue to China by 50% or more.

Putting enormous pressure on the shaky banking system.

This is what being the worlds only super power looks like. This nation has squandered decades due to terrible, corrupt leadership.

A nation is its people - this nation has amazing people (yes some losers too) finally we have a president worthy of this great country.

President Trump is showing just how crappy the presidents between him and Reagan truly were. If it weren't for the internet, which none of them had anything to do with, all we would have in that period is a bunch of wars and a stained dress.

Yeah the Chinese are probably making some deal with the Mexicans to flood our borders and they will import Mexican goods. Wait no - the Chinese are probably in control of the Mexican cartels already

President Trump’s biggest obstacle is the republicans in both houses who abhor him!!

What are you going to do about it? I suggest supporting just about ANY primary challenger to ANY Republican incumbent. De-elect the RINO bastards in the primaries. That's why we have them.

It used to be that lunatic liberals were against free trade. Many were angry at Clinton for adopting NAFTA. Now Trump is trying to correct decades of wrongs and suddenly the liberals became lovers of low tariffs and free trade overnight.

Their hypocrisy is like magic.

Images like these help me see all the hostility and viciousness toward the President as a good thing. Their bitter hatred of Donald Trump is actually a very, very good omen.

You can judge a man by the friends he keeps and President Trump has all the right enemies.

If those ‘Rat Presidents loved President Trump the way they love the Bushes, just think how screwed the Republic would be right now.

I did see where a bunch of millennials aren’t going to procreate for global warming.

Well, unless they "spay and neuter" then I'm thinking that they are showing a lack of commitment to their cause
