U.S. President Donald Trump said a phase-two trade deal with China isn’t under consideration, saying the relationship between Washington and Beijing has deteriorated too much.

"I don’t think about that,” Trump said Friday when asked about the possibility of a second round of trade agreements with China. "The relationship with China has been severely damaged.”

Trump’s comments — made to reporters aboard Air Force One on his way to Florida for a fundraiser and a visit to a military base — reflect the steady breakdown of ties between the two nations over issues such as the coronavirus pandemic, trade and the competition for military supremacy in the South China Sea.
