Trump implies US can handle trade war in case of no deal with China

WASHINGTON, Sept 13 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday said the United States was under no pressure to make a trade deal with China, one day after his top economic adviser said the administration had invited Chinese officials to restart talks.

"We are under no pressure to make a deal with China, they are under pressure to make a deal with us. Our markets are surging, theirs are collapsing. We will soon be taking in Billions in Tariffs & making products at home. If we meet, we meet?" Trump wrote in a post on Twitter.
