Responding to President Donald Trump’s comments that he might wait until after the 2020 elections to reach a trade agreement with China, the US National Retail Federation (NRF) said waiting another year to resolve the trade war is a bad deal not just for retailers and customers but every segment of the economy from farmers to small manufacturers.

NRF senior vice president for government relations David French in a statement said: “We agree that we need to restate our relationship with China on a number of levels but we need to bring resolution to this issue rather than delay it.”
