US President Donald Trump, who has put China on backfoot by an aggressive policy of imposing additional tariffs on their imports, has said that he thinks America is going to make a trade deal with Beijing. Having imposed additional import duties of Chinese products worth USD 250 billion, Trump said he can add another USD 275 billion.

"We're in a little dispute with China. We put USD 250 billion worth of tariffs on China at 25 per cent. And I think we're going to make a deal," Trump told his supporters at a 'Make America Great Again' rally in Illinois. The US goes to mid-term polls on November 6. "You know, look, if we do good and if we don't, that's OK, but we have a tremendous -- and we can put another USD 257 billion dollars' worth of tariffs on China. I have a feeling that everything's going to work out. They want to make a deal. I said, you're not ready yet. You're not ready yet," said the US President. Trump said trade imbalance with China has been averaging USD 500 billion for many years.
