Trump says big team in China trying to make trade deal

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday that the United States has a big team in China trying to reach a trade agreement and that Beijing very much wants to make a deal.

Top U.S. officials arrived in the Chinese capital on Tuesday before high-level trade talks as the world's two largest economies attempt to hammer out a deal before a March 1 deadline and avoid another escalation of tariffs.
