The administration has given a March 1 deadline for talks with China
President Trump is meeting with China’s top trade negotiator at the White House Thursday afternoon, with the March 1 deadline for a firm trade deal quickly approaching.
Mr. Trump tweeted ahead of his meeting with Chinese Vice Premier Liu He Thursday afternoon that «meetings are going well with good intent and spirit on both sides.» The president has expressed some optimism about reaching a deal in the next month, but says «no final deal will be made» until he meets directly with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
