TRUMP ADMINISTRATION WARNED CHINA AGAINST RETALIATORY TARIFFS IN PRIVATE TALKS, BUT EFFORTS FAILED: SOURCES
JUST HOURS BEFORE CHINA ANNOUNCED NEW RETALIATORY TARIFFS, THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION PRIVATELY WARNED CHINESE OFFICIALS AGAINST SUCH ACTIONS AND REITERATED THAT PRESIDENT XI JINPING SHOULD INITIATE A CALL WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP, A SOURCE SAID.
