Asian equity benchmarks are trading lower on Wednesday, following lackluster cues from US stock market after reports said that US President Donald Trump threatened higher tariffs on Chinese goods if a trade deal is not reached between the two economic powerhouses, dulling prospects for the deal between two super powers of the world.
