（华盛顿16日讯）中国经济成长放缓报告出炉后，美国总统特朗普周一在推特发文指，这证明美国关税产生“重大影响”。
在双边贸易谈判积极进行之际，特朗普也警告，华府可能对中国施加更多压力。
中国国家统计局周一公布，第二季经济按年增长6.2%，增速比首季减慢0.2%，是27年以来最差季度表现。
特朗普表示，美国向中国货品加征关税产生很大影响，导致数以千计企业撤出中国，迁往没有关税的地方，“所以中国想和美国敲定协议，甚至希望无破坏原本商谈好的协议。”
他又说，美国收取来自中国数以十亿美元税款，这些关税由中国支付，不是美国纳税人。
China’s 2nd Quarter growth is the slowest it has been in more than 27 years. The United States Tariffs are having a major effect on companies wanting to leave China for non-tariffed countries. Thousands of companies are leaving. This is why China wants to make a deal....

....with the U.S., and wishes it had not broken the original deal in the first place. In the meantime, we are receiving Billions of Dollars in Tariffs from China, with possibly much more to come. These Tariffs are paid for by China devaluing & pumping, not by the U.S. taxpayer!

另一方面，美国财政部长努钦表示，本周可望与中国贸易官员再次通电话，这是近期恢复的贸易会谈的一部分。是否举行面对面会谈，则端视已长达一年的贸易战状况而定。
