US President Donald Trump on Sunday tweeted about the trade friction with China.

“President Xi and I will always be friends, no matter what happens with our dispute on trade. China will take down its Trade Barriers because it is the right thing to do. Taxes will become reciprocal and a deal will be made on Intellectual Property. Great future for both countries!"

Trump’s remarks came amid escalating trade tensions between the two countries.

Earlier, the US administration announced a proposed list of products subject to additional tariffs, which covers Chinese exports worth 50 billion US dollars and a suggested tariff rate of 25 percent, despite China’s strong condemnation.

In response, China has also unveiled a list of imports from the United States worth 50 billion US dollars that will be subject to higher tariffs, including soybean, automobiles and chemical products.
