President Donald Trump said the United States isn’t ready to make a trade deal with China, in remarks he made while on a state visit to Japan.

“I think they probably wish they made the deal that they had on the table before they tried to renegotiate it,” Trump said during a joint press conference with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on May 27.
