U.S. President Donald Trump noted that he could postpone the signing of a trade agreement with China for an indefinite period, until the US presidential election in November 2020. Such news alarmed the markets, depriving hopes for a quick resolution of a trade dispute, that slows down the global economy.
At a meeting with reporters, Trump said that he was ready to wait until the election. At the same time, the American president continues to insist that the deal should fully comply with the interests of the United States, otherwise it simply may not take place.
Following Trump's comments, stock prices in Europe and the Chinese yuan fell to local lows.
