In a breaking story, it has been reported that the meeting of President Trump and his Chinese counterpart Xi has been delayed until December, according to Reuters reports.

It's still possible the US-China trade pact will not be reached, but a deal is more likely than not

China's push for more tariff rollbacks is not seen derailing progress toward a trade deal.

CNBC has also stated that the two could meet at the Nato summit in London on the 3rd - 4th on December as Trump is scheduled to be at the summit anyway.
