Mr Trump said: “Just had a long and very good call with President Xi of China. “Deal is moving along very well. If made, it will be very comprehensive, covering all subjects, areas and points of dispute. Big progress being made!” The tweet came after Mr Trump raised suspicion he was escalating his row over trade with China after stating he was considering signing a “national emergency” executive order that would bar US companies from using telecommunications equipment made by Huawei and ZTE.
Sources revealed in January he spoke of giving consideration to issuing the order.
This order would not openly name Huawei and ZTE but would direct the US Commerce Department to stop the country’s companies from buying equipment made abroad by foreign telecommunications makers posing significant national security risks.
The order came about after the MI6 warned phones and equipment made in China could be used by the Chinese Government to spy or sabotage foreign countries.
China’s Foreign Ministry spokeswoman, Hua Chunying, attacked the US government saying it is acting “without any evidence”.

“This in reality is undoubtedly shutting oneself off, rather than being the door to openness, progress and fairness.”
The text on the order is yet to be finalised however.

Tariffs imposed by Beijing on US exports reached £87.02bn ($110bn).
