Trade talks between the US and China held this week in Beijing led to “progress” between the two sides, the White House said Friday, confirming dialogue would continue in Washington next week.

“These detailed and intensive discussions led to progress between the two parties,” a statement by the White House press office said.

“Much work remains, however. Both sides will continue working on all outstanding issues in advance of the March 1, 2019, deadline for an increase in the 10 percent tariff on certain imported Chinese goods,” it added.
