US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said Saturday trade talks with China were getting close to their conclusion.

Since January, shuttle diplomacy between Washington and Beijing to resolve their nine-month trade war has dragged on longer than officials had expected. Both sides have continued to project cautious optimism without predicting success.

"It is more important to get it right than have arbitrary date," Mnuchin told reporters. But "I'm hopeful we're getting close to the final round of concluding issues."
"And I would expect that the enforcement mechanism works in both directions."
