United States President Donald Trump stated today that the country “has the most powerful weapon in the world,” which is why, as he assessed, Chinese President Xi Jinping will not allow the escalation of the trade war between the two countries.
Speaking in the Oval Office, Trump said he was “not worried” about further escalation of the economic conflict with China, calling Chinese President Xi Jinping “one of (the few) very smart people in the world,” reports “Newsweek.”

“I don’t think he would allow that to happen. The US is far more powerful than people understand. We have weapons that nobody has any idea about, and it is the most powerful weapon in the world,” Trump said.
China has announced that it will impose tariffs of 84 percent on all products from the United States, further increasing the previously announced tariff of 34 percent, and has also filed a new complaint with the World Trade Organization (WTO).
This decision was made in response to an earlier measure by the administration of US President Donald Trump, which imposed tariffs of 125 percent on Chinese goods, Tanjug reports.
