Trump States China Expresses Willingness for Talks

The evidence strongly and consistently supports the statement. Multiple credible sources (PBS, NPR, NYT, The Guardian) report that China explicitly expressed a willingness to engage in trade talks, although often with preconditions such as the removal of tariffs. Furthermore, several sources (Standard.net, CNN, NPR) directly attribute the announcement of renewed talks to President Trump, confirming that he did state China's willingness to negotiate.
