Trump is headed to the G20 Summit in Japan next week, during which he plans to meet with China's Xi Jinping to discuss trade tensions face-to-face.
"I don't think he'll come home with a deal but I think he could come home with a beginning of 'let's really get serious about negotiation,'" the secretary of agriculture said. Perdue also said he'd"love to see a resolution by the end of this year."
Trade tensions have been high between Washington and Beijing since Trump added tariffs on hundreds of billions of dollars of Chinese products last year. Xi's government responded in kind, adding tariffs to billions in U.S. imports and taking other retaliatory measures. Earlier this spring, it appeared that the U.S. and China were about reach a deal to end the dispute, but Trump stepped back from the agreement, accusing the Chinese of backing away from previous commitments.
