U.S. President Donald Trump has signaled an uncompromising approach to U.S.-China trade negotiations, stating any agreement must meet exacting standards before being accepted, according to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.
When asked if the president would abandon talks over imperfect terms, Pompeo told Sinclair Broadcasting Group, "Yes."
"It’s got to be right," the secretary said, citing the administration’s position as outlined in a State Department-transcribed interview released Tuesday.
