Trump says China's agricultural purchases not enough

During a news conference at the White House with Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison, U.S. President Donald Trump told reporters he is looking for "the big deal" with China.

The president added that a comprehensive agreement would take time.

Chinese and U.S. negotiators are holding two days of talks that were expected to focus heavily on agriculture, and lay the groundwork for high-level talks in early October that would determine whether the two countries are working toward a solution or headed for new and higher tariffs on each other's goods.

A delegation of about 30 Chinese officials, led by Vice Finance Minister Liao Min, met counterparts at the U.S. Trade Representative's (USTR) office near the White House. Deputy USTR Jeffrey Gerrish led the U.S. delegation.
