'No preconditions' for Trump-Xi talks: White House advisor

President Donald Trump's top economic advisor said Thursday there are no preconditions from the US or Chinese sides ahead of make-or-break trade talks between Trump and President Xi Jinping.

"There are no preconditions to these talks," Larry Kudlow told reporters at the White House. "That's very important."
Kudlow reiterated Trump's view that the trade war is damaging China and not the United States and that tariffs are being "used to bring them to the table."
