Trump says trade deal 'coming along nicely' with China
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday a deal with Beijing to end a trade dispute between the two countries was coming along nicely, with U.S. negotiators poised to be in China next week for more talks.
Washington and Beijing have slapped import duties on hundreds of billions of dollars worth of each other’s products. The eight-month trade war between the world’s two largest economies has raised costs, roiled financial markets, shrunk U.S. farm exports and disrupted manufacturing supply chains.
“The deal is coming along nicely,” Trump said to reporters at the White House. He added that top U.S. negotiators were going to China this weekend “to further the deal.”
