CHINA/TARIFFS/TRADE DEALS/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT/TWITTER: “U.S. President Donald Trump denied on Wednesday [4-4-18] that the United States was in a trade war with China, hours after Beijing slapped tariffs on a list of U.S. imports in retaliation for similar duties levied by the White House one day earlier. ‘We are not in a trade war with China, that war was lost many years ago by the foolish, or incompetent, people who represented the U.S.,’ Trump wrote in a post on Twitter.”
