The trade negotiating teams have not met since talks ended in stalemate on May 10. China is open to more trade talks but has nothing to announce about a possible meeting between the two leaders, Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang said on Monday. LOW EXPECTATIONSEswar Prasad, a trade professor at Cornell University and a former head of the China department at the International Monetary Fund, said expectations from any talks were low. Xi and Trump met last year in Buenos Aires and broke a prior impasse in trade talks. Beijing is expected to resist language in the statement that the United States may subsequently use against China in trade talks.
