US-China talks could see face-to-face negotiations
The telephone talks between U.S. and Chinese trade negotiators went well last week, potentially leading to an in-person meeting next week and an increase in Chinese imports of U.S. soybeans, according to Chinese and U.S. sources.
President Donald Trump, speaking Friday about the call between U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and their Chinese counterparts, said: “They had a very good talk. We'll see what happens.”
Mnuchin had said earlier that if the call last week went well, it could lead to an in-person meeting and Chinese officials are suggesting that’s likely.
“Briefing of the Chinese side on phone talks between Chinese and US trade officials shows face-to-face consultation will not be far away,” Hu Xijin, head of the Chinese state-run Global Times, said in a tweet. “I think we can expect that some actions may happen, which would be seen as goodwill from each other.”
