美中貿易戰正酣，而美國總統川普（Donald Trump）13日表示將和中國國家主席習近平在6月底的日本G20峰會上會面，並稱「會是一場很有成效的會議」。

中國國務院關稅稅則委員會在此消息出來前，於網站上公告6月1日起對600億美元的美國商品中部分提高關稅稅率，包括冷凍蔬菜和液化天然氣，以回應美國10日起對2000億美元中國商品加徵關稅的措施。

美國貿易代表處表示，將在6月舉行公開聽證會，研議進一步對3000億美元的中國商品同樣提高關稅至25％，屆時被納入清單的商品可能包括手機與筆電。

川普曾推文表示，「我要公開對中國國家主席習近平和我所有中國朋友說，如果不跟我們談好協議，中國會傷得很重，因為企業會被迫離開中國，跑去別的國家。你們本來有個很棒的協議，幾乎要談成，但你們說話不算話！」

..There will be nobody left in China to do business with. Very bad for China, very good for USA! But China has taken so advantage of the U.S. for so many years, that they are way ahead (Our Presidents did not do the job). Therefore, China should not retaliate-will only get worse!
