The US President's special envoy: Trump is a "negotiation master", not refusing to negotiate with China

US President Special Envoy Richard Grenell said that US President Trump believes that it is crucial to negotiate with China to find a way out of the trade deadlock.

"As for China, President Trump has shown us that he can both put pressure on China and talk to China. You see, we have just got rid of more than three years of George W. Bush not talking to Vladimir Putin (the Russian leader).

"He said in the program on Fox News Channel, "If you are powerful and can explain the arguments supporting 'America First' (policy), then American citizens need you to have a dialogue because in this way, our arguments can be conveyed to the other side, and we can also use our influence to put pressure on them. I see this happening on the issue of tariffs."

Grenell pointed out that Trump is a "master of negotiation, but negotiation requires dialogue." Moreover, the US President's envoy firmly believes that Trump "believes in peace agreements."

Grenell believes: "However, it is extremely difficult to reach a peace agreement. It is much easier to let the situation slide toward violence and war."
