President Trump on Friday touted his administration’s move to increase tariffs on $200 billion in Chinese goods after trade talks between Washington and Beijing failed to come to an agreement, while saying the Obama administration let China “get away with 'murder.”

Fox News reports trade negotiations continued this morning, but the president later said that despite "candid and constructive" talks, no deal was reached.

Trump tweeted that while talks with China continue in a very congenial manner, “there is absolutely no need to rush.”

Trump also hit back at suggestions the tariffs would hurt the U.S. economy, noting former President Obama, as well as former VP Joe Biden, were too weak on Beijing.
