Trump said he was in no rush and conclude the trade deal with China.

In the wake of the Trump-Kim Summit, the US and the North Korean sides must undertake some deep reflection and must maintain contact. All is not yet lost. Recovery from the setback is possible and desirable.

The White House said on Monday it was “absurd” to suggest that President Donald Trump was an unreliable negotiator as China reportedly balks at a summit with President Xi Jinping over concerns Trump would walk away from a trade deal.

Much of Trump’s wish list is pie-in-the-sky. If there is any paper agreement much beyond what China offered last May, it will consist largely of empty promises that China will be unable or unwilling to keep.

Goods trade deficits surged in 2018 due to strong domestic demand fuelled by lower taxes pulled in imports.

It seems that North Korea and the United States both harbor misjudgments about the other’s views on denuclearization, and neither has fully prepared for the responsibilities that come with denuclearizing. All the while, the window of time for fruitful negotiations in the future is narrowing.

While North Korea negotiations have collapsed, the Trump administration is now focused on reaching an agreement with China.

Trump’s selfish and erratic behavior puts increasing strain on the relationship.

The March 1 deadline to complete talks with Beijing is ‘not a magical date,’ U.S. president says.

Trump said he is in no rush to force North Korea to end its nuclear program.
