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.
On Tuesday, delegations from the countries finished a third round of high-level talks in Stockholm, Sweden, ahead of an August 12 expiration of that pause.
Beijing and Washington had been expected to extend their tariff truce another three months, sources on both sides told the South China Morning Post before discussions began on Monday.
