If you're just joining us, welcome to Fast Money, we are listening to President Trump discussing

where the US and China stand on trade talks.

After a meeting with Chinese Vice Premier Liu He, let's get to Aiman Javras, who was in that meeting room.

Hey, Aiman. Yeah, that's that meeting room. Hey, Aaman.

Yeah, that's right, Melissa.

So a couple of thoughts right off the bat.

One is the president is not committing to announce a summit

with she-jimping.

There had been some reporting earlier in the day that he was likely to

announce that. It turns out he doesn't announce that. He says maybe four more weeks

of negotiations here, maybe two more weeks after that to get the deal papered as he

says before ultimately there is a

summit between the president she's in ping if they get to a deal you heard some very

positive rhetoric there from the president about this deal it be the best deal ever

it'll be a terrific deal. Things are going

very well. What you didn't hear, I was in the Oval Office during the the run-up to this,

the part that we didn't just play back on tape. And in that run-up the president went around the room and talked to each of his

advisors including Robert Lighthouse or the U.S. Trade Representative and Peter Navarro, the

trade advisor to the president. Both of them made comments in the Oval Office just now that were

substantially more skeptical than the president's remarks were in terms of the progress on a deal

Navarro suggested that the the end of a marathon is in fact the hardest part of the marathon.

Lighthouse are suggesting in a similar vein that they have a lot still left to agree to.
