US President Donald Trump has further dampened expectations of a trade deal with China, saying the current framework makes it 'too hard to get done', reported UK's Guardian.
'Our trade deal with China is moving along nicely but in the end we will probably have to use a different structure in that this will be too hard to get done and to verify results after completion,' he said.
Mr Trump's comments come one day after he said he was 'not satisfied' with the trade talks that have become stressed on the US side by an apparent lack of coordination among administration officials.
According to a New York Times report published on Monday, the strained relationship between Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and the National Trade Council Director Peter Navarro ended in a shouting match in front of Chinese officials on a trip to Beijing earlier this month.
