US-China trade talks to continue next week as concerns rise over deadline

Officials from the United States and China will meet next week in Washington to continue working on a trade deal after having made progress in talks in Beijing this week, White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said in a statement on Friday.

"The United States looks forward to these further talks and hopes to see additional progress," she said. "Both sides will continue working on all outstanding issues in advance of the March 1, 2019, deadline for an increase in the 10 per cent tariff on certain imported Chinese goods."
