Trade talks between Trump and Xi at G20 in Buenos Aires are on

America's President and his Chinese counterpart have confirmed that they will meet on the sidelines of the G20 leaders' meeting in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on 31 November-1 December.

In a message posted to his account on Twitter, Donald Trump said he and Xi Jinping had a "long and very good conversation", including on trade.

"Those discussions are moving along nicely with meetings being scheduled at the G-20 in Argentina. Also had good discussion on North Korea!," he added.

XI reportedly confirmed from his side, reportedly telling China's state-run CCTV: "Over the past period, China and the US have had differences on trade, and this has caused negative impact on the industries of both nations and global trade. China doesn't want to see that.

"China and the US have precedents of resolving difficult trade and economic issues through dialogue. The economic teams of both sides must step up communication and coordination on issues of their concern to put forward a proposal acceptable to both sides."
