With fresh tariffs in place and President Trump insisting he’s in no hurry for a trade deal, top U.S. and Chinese officials ended talks Friday in Washington without reaching an agreement or providing immediate word of future negotiations.

The two sides had reconvened Friday morning after a last-ditch effort the previous night failed to salvage a deal before Trump’s midnight deadline for ratcheting up punitive tariffs on Chinese goods. U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer said Friday that the process before those new tariffs can be imposed would begin soon. The process includes filing a public notice and having a period for public comments.
