The US trade delegation concludes China's meetings and hopes for an agreement Arab and international Economy News - Baghdad A US trade delegation in Beijing will conclude meetings with Chinese officials and return to the United States later on Wednesday after "a few good days," a US official said. Asian stock markets jumped after the talks extended to a third unplanned day, fueling optimism that the world's two largest economies could reach a trade deal to avoid a global confrontation that could seriously disrupt the global economy. Ted McKinney, US Deputy Secretary of Agriculture for Trade and External Agricultural Relations, made the remarks to reporters at the hotel where the delegation is staying. "I think it went well, it was good for us," McKinney said. He gave no details. The meetings this week were the first direct talks since US President Donald Trump and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping agreed in December to a 90-day truce in a trade war that triggered a shake-up in global financial markets. The negotiations, originally scheduled for Monday and Tuesday, were extended for an additional day, with signs of progress on issues including the purchase of agricultural and energy goods from the United States and the opening up of Chinese markets.

Wang Xu-wen, vice minister of commerce of China, is leading the vice-ministerial talks as his country's representative, but Liu He, deputy prime minister and chief economic adviser to the president, attended a meeting on Monday.
