Donald Trump Calls Himself “Tariff Man” When Threatening China, Stock Markets Plummet

Donald Trump announced on Tuesday that he was working with China President Xi Jinping at the G20 summit on a trade deal, admitting that said deal could still fail to pass but the early negotiations were promising.

In his series of tweets, however, Trump stated both parties “want this deal to happen, and it probably will.” He then threatened China, adding, “But if not remember… I am a Tariff Man. When people or countries come in to raid the great wealth of our Nation, I want them to pay for the privilege of doing so. It will always be the best way to max out our economic power. ”
