Report: Trade talks with China 'going really well': Trump

U.S. President Donald Trump said trade talks with China were "going really well" and that he was set to meet with Chinese Vice Premier Liu He on Oct. 11, CNBC reported.

The comments came amid uncertainty whether the two camps will be able to reach a breakthrough after reports that the deputy-level trade talks earlier in the week failed to make any progress on key issues at the center of the trade war and that the Chinese delegation may cut its stay short.

Issues critical to the U.S. like forced technology transfers and state subsidies were avoided, with negotiations instead focusing on agricultural trade and intellectual property rights, the South China Morning Post previously reported.

Before the high-level talks began, the U.S. was reportedly considering a currency pact with China as part of an interim trade agreement that could avert potential tariff increases on Chinese goods. China was mulling increasing its U.S. farm imports as part of trade-related concessions.

However, tensions rose earlier in the week as the U.S. added multiple Chinese companies to its trade blacklist, prompting China to suggest it may retaliate.
