U.S. President Donald Trump said he is keeping his options open on a deadline later today in the trade negotiations with China, telling reporters the administration will "see what happens." He added that Beijing has been "dealing nicely," language that suggests the White House could grant more time for talks rather than impose additional penalties or walk away from the discussions. Trump’s remarks come as officials from both countries work toward a broader agreement following the United States’ 145% tariff on Chinese goods that took effect in April. The president did not specify whether he would formally extend the current deadline or what conditions might trigger further action. Trump also played down expectations for his separate meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin scheduled for Friday in Alaska, calling it "a feel-out meeting." He indicated the session would be exploratory and that he might “leave and say good luck” if the talks fail to make progress.
