American and Chinese trade negotiators met Wednesday for talks on their bruising tariff war after Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said the U.S. side might be moving toward a decision on whether to make a deal with Beijing.
Wednesday's atmosphere appeared amicable. Lighthizer, Mnuchin, Liu and other officials smiled for photos and shook hands after their one-day meeting.
Mnuchin said earlier that Wednesday's meeting and talks next week in Washington would help American officials decide whether to recommend President Donald Trump agree to a deal with Beijing. The talks also cover exchange rates and possible measures to narrow China's multibillion-dollar trade surplus with the United States.
