US President Donald Trump said Friday he will meet with President Xi Jinping after a Chinese delegation visits Washington, DC next week for ongoing trade talks
"China's coming here next week and then I'll be meeting with President Xi at some point after that for some remaining deals, we'll make them directly," Trump told reporters at the White House.
Trump emphasized that US-China trade talks are going "extremely well" and that both sides are getting closer to a trade deal than ever before.
Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin led a US delegation in Beijing this week to meet with their counterparts for ongoing trade talks.
China and the United States have been engaged in a trade war since Trump announced in June that the United States would subject $50 billion of Chinese goods to 25 percent tariffs in a bid to fix the US-Chinese trade deficit. Since then, the two countries have exchanged several rounds of trade tariffs.
At the G20 summit in Argentina in December, Trump and Xi agreed on a 90-day truce to allow room for talks that would help cement a new trade deal. While this truce is set to end on March 1, Trump has indicated that he could extend the deadline if there was progress in the talks.
