President says China trade talks going well

President Donald Trump is readying for a prime-time address to the nation about border security on Tuesday night, and cited what he said was progress in U.S.-China trade talks.

PROGRESS ON CHINA TALKS CITED

The president said trade talks with China are “going very well” in a tweet.

U.S. stock indexes DJIA, +1.09% traded higher Tuesday, backed by optimism over trade.

The Wall Street Journal reported Washington and Beijing have made progress on narrowing their trade differences, especially on purchases of U.S. goods and services and further opening China’s markets.

Both sides believe enough progress has been made for a next round of talks among cabinet-level officials, probably later this month in Washington, the Journal said.
