President Donald Trump has come up short on striking trade deals with most nations with just one month left before his self-imposed tariff deadline, even as he took his first steps in weeks toward engaging with China.

President Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping spoke on Thursday, with tariff and trade talks set to resume next week. Trump said Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, and US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer would meet with Chinese counterparts in London on Monday.

News of the call came as new data showed U.S. goods imports dropped significantly in April as sweeping tariffs rolled out.
