The Trump administration could implement another major round of tariffs against China if trade negotiations with the country aren't successful, the president said Monday night.

President Trump told Fox News' Laura Ingraham that another round of trade measures equaling $264 billion in value was "ready to go" if Chinese authorities do not bend to U.S. demands for significant changes to China's trade policies.

“I think that we will make a great deal with China, and it has to be great, because they’ve drained our country,” Trump told Ingraham.

"[But] I have $267 billion waiting to go if we can’t make a deal,” he added.

3. I just woke up

and almost immediately looked to see what Trump had done.

Pittsburgh has been an embarrassment to him and now - whether he goes or not - he will be drawing more criticism.

He had to make an announcement or create a distraction or emergency. Tariffs and anti immigrant stuff sells well amongst his disciples, so tariffs and the removal of birthright citizenship it is ........
