Donald Trump warned it was “not easy” to hold negotiations with China as trade talks in London entered a second day.
The US president insisted he was only getting “good reports” about progress between the teams of officials from Washington and Beijing.
“We are doing well with China. China’s not easy,” President Trump told reporters at the White House on Monday. “I’m only getting good reports.”
US treasury secretary Scott Bessent said it had been a “good meeting” on Monday, while Mr Trump’s commerce secretary Howard Lutnick said the negotiations had been “fruitful”.
Stocks were mixed in Asia overnight, with European markets expected to open higher amid hopes that the negotiations will ease trade tensions between the world’s two largest economies.
