On the sidelines of the G20 meeting in Osaka, western Japan, the US President Trump said he was open to a trade deal with Chinese President Xi Jinping that would be “monumental”.
This comes as he begins the highly-anticipated trade talks with the Chinese President Xi.
Trump noted: “I actually think that we were very close and then something happened where it slipped a little bit and now we’re getting a little bit closer”.
“But it would be historic if we could do a fair trade deal. We’re totally open to it and you’re totally open to it. I think this will be a very productive meeting and I think we can go on to do something that truly will be monumental,” he added.
