US President Donald Trump's popularity has slumped further amid mounting fears that the US economy will enter a recession.
A Washington Post / ABC News poll showed Trump's approval rating fell to 38 percent from 44 percent in June.
Fifty-six percent of Americans surveyed disapproved of the way Trump conducts trade talks with China, while six in 10 respondents were likely to see a contraction in the US economy.
Forty-three percent of those surveyed said Trump's trade and economic policies increased the chances of deflation, while six out of 10 expressed concern that a trade war with China could drive up prices for consumer products.
Trade relations between China and the United States have recently been severely strained when Trump launched a trade war with Beijing and imposed duties on Chinese imports and goods of more than $ 200 billion in a desperate attempt to pressure China to make illegal trade concessions. Reply.
The IMF and US economists have warned that Trump's economic policies are counterproductive and will slow the global economy.
