WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump said on Friday his proposed 100% tariff on goods from China would not be sustainable, adding that he would meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping in two weeks and that he thought things would be fine with China.

“It’s not sustainable, but that’s what the number is,” Trump said in an interview with Fox Business Network. “They forced me to do that.”
