Top US and Chinese trade officials have concluded talks in Shanghai on July 31, as China’s foreign ministry blames the US for flip-flopping in negotiations over the past year.
The closed-door meeting, which ended after about four hours, is the first face-to-face talks between both sides after a hiatus of nearly three-months. US Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin also posed for a group photo with Chinese Vice-Premier Liu He before the US team left for the airport.
