Trump says China "broke deal" in trade talks

트럼프 "중국이 무역합의 깨뜨렸다…물러서지 않을 것"
Markets have been rattled this week over tensions between the U.S. and China over trade.
With new tariffs looming, talks are set for Thursday.
President Trump is blaming China for breaking a deal they had apparently almost reached.
Kim Hyesung reports.
U.S. President Donald Trump has accused China of "breaking the deal" in the ongoing U.S.-China trade talks.
Speaking at a campaign rally in Florida on Wednesday, President Trump attributed his recent threat of tariff increases to Beijing's negotiating position.
"The vice premier is flying in tomorrow - good man. But they broke the deal. They can't do that...So, I just announced that I will increase tariffs on China. And we won't back down until China stops cheating our workers, and stealing our jobs."
Trump threatened to impose additional tariffs on Chinese goods in a Twitter post last weekend, accusing China of backtracking on provisions of a draft trade deal.
On Wednesday local time, the U.S. Trade Representative's office filed paperwork to raise tariffs on 200 billion U.S. dollars of Chinese imports to 25 percent from the previous 10 percent, effective this coming Friday.
In response, China's Commerce Ministry said it will take necessary countermeasures, adding that it deeply regrets the Trump Administration's latest action.
Already, the two sides have exchanged tariffs on over 360 billion U.S. dollars worth of goods in two-way trade since last year.
Officials have been locked in negotiations for about five months after Trump agreed to put off the January 1st scheduled increase on tariffs on 200 billion dollars of Chinese goods while talks between the two sides resume.
Washington has called on Beijing to make sweeping changes to its trade and regulatory practices, including protection over U.S. intellectual property, curbs on Chinese government subsidies and increased market access to China.
While trade tensions escalate, White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said Wednesday that the U.S. has received an indication that China wants to make a deal,... adding they will sit down with the Chinese delegation including Vice Premier Liu He on Thursday,... and see what happens from there.
