Trump says he is 'close to doing something' with China on trade

President Donald Trump told reporters Thursday he was "close" to doing something on trade with China.

He made the remarks as he prepared to depart for the G-20 summit meeting of world leaders in Argentina.

Reuters reported Trump saying though he was close, "he doesn't know if he wants to do it."

Trump is supposed to meet with China's President Xi Jinping while the two attend the summit. Trade and tariffs have been topics of increasing tension between the two countries since Trump started ratcheting up the heat earlier this year in a series of escalating tariffs on Chinese imports. China has retaliated with tariffs of its own on U.S. imports.
