Pres Trump on Xi's reluctance to finish trade deal at summit: "I think President Xi saw that I’m somebody that believes in walking when a deal is not done and there’s always a chance it could happen and he probably wouldn’t want that and that could be a reason. "

“Our hope is that we’re in the final weeks of having an agreement. But I’m not predicting one. There still are major, major issues that have to be resolved. And if those issues are not resolved in a way that’s beneficial to the United States, we will not have an agreement"

Missed this from Larry Kudlow yesterday... Administration's shift in language on the trade deficit is striking. Economists will agree with him. Not sure Trump would, however.
