Trump will meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping at the G20 summit in Osaka, Japan, on Saturday, he said. He believes President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping will make progress on stalled trade talks. "the message we want to hear is that they want to get back to the negotiating table and continue to negotiate because I think the Chinese economy and the US economy can achieve balanced trade and continue this relationship."

He added that the Sino-US trade talks were expected to reach an agreement by the end of the year, but "the right efforts need to be made."
