President Donald Trump said on Monday that there was a "very good" chance of clinching a trade deal with China as the world's top two economies clash over their trade relationship.

"I think sometime in the future, China and the US will have a great trade deal and we look forward to that," Trump said after talks with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.
