Trump: weakness in China economy gives Beijing incentive for trade deal

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Sunday that trade talks with China were going very well and that weakness in the Chinese economy gave Beijing a reason to work toward a deal.

“I think that gives them a great incentive to negotiate,” Trump told reporters at the White House.

U.S. negotiators are meeting with Chinese counterparts in Beijing to discuss a trade deal this week.
