China is getting fed up with Donald Trump putting out "confusing information" about the two nations having trade talks, MSNBC reported Saturday.
The network's Alex Witt over the weekend asked their reporter in the field about how China is responding to Trump's tough talk and action when it comes to tariff rates.
The reporter actually laughed as she explained a recent statement from the Asian country.

"China's ministry has said that if the U.S. wants to start negotiations, that they need to do away with these unilateral tariffs," the reporter said. "And they also said that the U.S. has expressed interest in wanting to start negotiations."
She then added, "They've also said, because there's been a lot of statements out of China, they've said at one point that the U.S. needs to stop putting out confusing information and really misleading people into thinking that these negotiations are happening."
"Of course, President Trump has been saying, 'Well, yeah, there are talks happening. I have talked to President Xi.' What's clear is that he hasn't talked to him since these tariffs went into effect," the reporter added.
