WASHINGTON: U.S. President Donald Trump said on Thursday that trade talks with China were going well and he would only accept a"great" deal as negotiators hammered out differences ahead of a meeting between Trump and China's vice premier later in the day.
The Wall Street Journal and the New York Times reported that Trump was expected to announce a date for a summit at that time, but a senior administration official told Reuters that was incorrect.A second administration official was a bit more cautious about prospects for an announcement, saying:"It's possible, but I think it's unlikely."Hopes that the talks were moving in a positive direction have cheered financial markets in recent weeks. But U.S.
Liu, Lighthizer and Mnuchin declined to speak to reporters as the three entered USTR offices near the White House on Thursday morning. Administration officials initially envisioned a summit between Trump and Xi potentially taking place in March, but some U.S. lawmakers and lobbying groups have said recently they were told that the administration was now aiming for a deal in late April.White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow has declined to give a deadline for a deal, saying last week that the talks are"not time dependent" and could be extended for weeks or even months longer.
