The comment came after a dizzying week of economic messages from the White House, which have sown confusion among businesses and investors.
President Donald Trump doubled down on his approach toward trade negotiations with China on Monday, suggesting a week of whiplash developments between the largest economies was par for the course.
Trump said Monday China asked the US to restart negotiations in a series of phone calls between high-level officials on Sunday, but the details remained elusive. He also praised President Xi Jinping as"a great leader who happens to be a brilliant man," days after portraying him as an"enemy" of the US.
Trump has sought to cast a positive light on trade negotiations with China following a tumultuous week in financial markets. Stocks, which Trump has long portrayed as a measure of his success in office, dropped sharply Friday after a rapid series of tariff escalations between the two sides.
