Negotiators from both countries have been working toward a deal to resolve a bitter trade dispute. The Wall Street Journal reported earlier that Xi and Trump might reach a formal trade deal at a summit around March 27th in Florida, but Trump said on Wednesday he is in no rush to complete a deal.
On Tuesday, China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said President Xi is ready to continue meetings with President Trump.
