Lutnick says US-China trade talks could spill into a third day
US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said trade talks with China under way in London since Monday could spill into a third day and suggested the two sides were making progress.
“We’re working on all sorts of trade issues, and I think the talks are going really, really well,” Lutnick told reporters gathered outside Lancaster House, the British government mansion where the dialogue is taking place.
“We’re … spending time and effort and energy. Everybody’s got their head down, working closely through it,” he said close to 8pm local time. “I hope they end this evening, but, if need be, we’ll be here tomorrow.”
