United States President Donald Trump said on Thursday that discussions on trade between Washington and Beijing took place "this morning" despite China saying that no negotiations have taken place yet.
Trump didn't provide any further details about the meeting to which he was referring. In response to a question on with whom the US talked, he said that Washington "may reveal it later, but they had meetings this morning, and we've been meeting with China."
Ahead of a bilateral meeting with Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store, the US president noted the two will discuss trade, among other issues. He called Norwegians a "smart nation" and "great business people," adding he expects the two sides to "come to a conclusion very quickly" when it comes to trade issues.
