Trump says 'likes' Xi, but 'extremely hard to make a deal with'

U.S. President Donald Trump expressed appreciation on Wednesday for Chinese President Xi Jinping but called him hard to strike a deal with ahead of an anticipated call this week.

"I like President XI of China, always have, and always will, but he is VERY TOUGH AND EXTREMELY HARD TO MAKE A DEAL WITH!!!" Trump posted on his Truth Social platform the day his 50 percent tariffs on steel and aluminum came into effect.
