20 summit in japan later this week. president trump set off for osaka with many hoping he would take the steps needed to resolve his trade disputes with china his treasury secretary says a deal with beijing was 90 percent done when talks collapsed in may now there's optimism among world leaders that the remaining 10 percent is within reach through not. in regard to the u.s. china trade expect the united states and china will constructively resolve the issue through dialogue including the u.s. china meeting during the g 20 summit. that were at a time of very high tensions between the united states and china so joining the g 20 summit i hope we can have talks that will ease the tensions up with a month that. many analysts say an out and out solution to the trade disputes when the 2 presidents meet again this weekend is unlikely but one survey of investor suggests they aren't expecting any new tariffs either something president trump is
