Trump says tariffs talks with China ‘moving along well’
US president does not confirm that Stockholm negotiators reached agreement on extending pause on levies placed on each other’s goods
US President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that talks with China on a tariff deal were “moving along well” and that the countries would reach a “fair” deal on trade, without offering additional details of the agreement.
“We’re moving along with China. We’re doing fine with China,” Trump told reporters before leaving a bill-signing ceremony at the White House.
“I think it’s going to work out very well. We’re right in step … I think we’re going to have a very fair deal with China,” he added.
Though reporters asked about the talks, the president did not confirm that the US and China would extend their “pause” on tariffs that the world’s two largest economies have imposed on each other’s goods.
