US President Donald Trump said that he met the team of US negotiators who had travelled last week to Beijing for a new round of trade negotiations with China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTrade negotiators have just returned from China where the meetings on trade were very productive,\u201d Trump, who is currently at his private residence in Palm Beach, Florida, said in a series of tweets on Saturday night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trump assured on Friday that the talks with China went \u201cextremely well\u201d and that the team is working closely with China and Xi. \u201cThey are going extremely well\u2026 We\u2019re a lot closer than we ever were in this country with having a real trade deal\u201d with China, Trump said at the White House.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
March 1 is the deadline for an agreement with China, and Trump has warned that if it does not happen, the US will raise the tariffs imposed on Chinese products valued at $200 billion from 10 per cent to 25 per cent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The President said that it would be an \u201chonour\u201d to withdraw these tariffs if a deal with Beijing is reached. This was the third face-to-face meeting between representatives of both countries since Xi and Trump agreed a 90-day trade war truce on December 1, 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trump had agreed to provisionally suspend the increase of US tariffs on these Chinese products, but warned that he would go ahead with his plan if the agreement was not closed within the stipulated period.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
